You might find something here...

I'm looking for something that will run entirely within an
anonymous p2p network, has data redundancy minimums
on the storage automatically handled by the system, some
number of redundant access points, and mounts posix-like
(nfs/zfs/iscsi/smb/cifs) for all participants. At least readonly
for everyone, and readwrite for the owner of any particular
subtree, like AFS.
