I suggest you read what filesystem design books you can find. Filesystem
design, in general, is not a science - it is an art.
If you're working on a distributed filesystem in earnest, read the Paxos
paper. It is about a somewhat weird subject - concensus - but is needed
for distrib work.
There are VERY many books on that.

Well, this, already, is a VERY tall order. Leseeeee:
Case 1 is a hefty read.
Case 2 is a a mixed read/write.
Case 3 is a stat.
These are so very different that you will have your work cut out for
you.
