CODA, Intermezzo, GFS

Adoption in linux distros = more primetime = more testing = more popularity

First step is always inclusion of the latest stable code in the kernel.
This has been done for the first two.

Then its inclusion in the installation packages of major distros.  To
date, none of the above filesystems have reached distro status.

This did wonders for the reiserfs project when SuSE and Mandrake included
it patched into the 2.2. kernel.  It made it mature enough to be formally
included in the 2.4 kernel (the first journalled fs to do so).

Maybe soon, a distro will be made just for these cluster FSs...
