?? Usually when I hear stand-alone program I think of program that runs without the need of a kernel. You have an environment in that context? > I have to justify changes on this filesystem code (like avoiding the > use of environment variables) to my tutor.

Generally I think at least until the filesystem is very stable running your filesystem server in the kernel is a mistake. And the concept of a parallel filesystem with just one server just sounds wrong from any context.
