I'm curious, taking away some of the database-inna-filesystem things that was originally listed, everything else seemed to be addressed quite nicely by zfs. Why not look at porting that? As a classically trained civil engineer, my first instinct is always to look for work that other people have already done, and see if it fits. I think the Sun people put a shitload of work into designing their "next gen" filesystem, and looking at some of the demos, it really shows. However, it won't be easy porting it. It's been out in opensolaris for over a year+, but only showed up in solaris 10 6/06. However the linux folks have to do it through fuse, and even OSX don't have it working properly yet, according to reports.
