How about scientific file formats like NetCDF or HDF5? NetCFD: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/ HDF: http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/index.html Both are oriented towards atomic data types on different platforms (endianness, size), but they do offer (at least hdf5 does) the possibility to structure single files internally into "groups" and "datasets" (speaking in hdf5 terms) and a group can have nested groups. So this is a file system. If ordinary files are looked at as array of byte it may fit your needs.
