i guess my thinking is more along the lines of implementing a lustre interface
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lustre_%28file_system%29#Architecture where the chronology *may* follow: the File's Metadata attributes are written the particulars of where the data is written would be handled by OSS which delegates to 1..n target nodes (which then passes the information to that target's LVM / RAID device) Both MDS and OSS can implement either ext3 or ZFS/DMU Storage algos..in either case the metadata(MDT) metadata object record is written by the MDS .. the data will be written to one or more LOV formatted ext3 or ZFS/DMU nodes specifying byte-offset and size.. When the requesting client issues a write request for the OST the governing OSS issues the write request to the target that can fulfill it..if the requested target cannot complete the request that target passes ENOSPC back to OSS which then looks up the next target The admin of the target node will be notified of the failed attempt by alert or log but the OSS will hunt for the next target that can fulfill the write request of the OST this is my (albeit cursory) interpretation of Object Oriented Disk Architectures does this conform to your understanding?
