Be tried this but couldn't get it to work with acceptable performace, but that was about 10 years ago so it might work OK with today's hardware. Microsoft is supposedly working on something like this for the next major version of Windows, but I keep remembering how the 'major new all-32-bit (HA!) replacment for Windows 3.11 was supposed to come out in '93, then '94, then early '95, then mid-'95, and NT 5.0 was supposed to come out in '97 then '98, then early '99, then mid-'99, then late-'99, then 2000. and so on...

I can definitely see the advantage to what you're looking for. You're trying to build an application layer into the fs (and assume that you would then remove the raw filesystem access). Nobody to my knowledge has done this, but it doesn't mean it's a bad idea. It's just an idea that nobody has found a motivating enough reason to code it for Linux. It seems to me that I've heard of this somewhere. I'm just trying to put my finger on where. I'll ask in the reiser list I suppose and see what others' gut responses are. Blue skies...
