that is, file systems that have multiple nodes simultaneously
accessing block devices and tolerating faults.
There seem to be a number of other systems looking at building fault
tolerance and distribution over btrfs: crfs, ceph, lustre. I'm
convinced that will happen even if btrfs doesn't do it natively.
Btrfs could probably be built to stripe and/or mirror over several nbd
devices now, although I haven't tried it.
