We have created a virtual filesystem using MySQL as storage, using the LD_PRELOAD version of AVFS. The filesystem logic is written in Perl (embedded perl interpreter). It works for shell utils, proftpd, samba, and (not well tested yet) netatalk, and I'm sure WebDAV, NFS and other services could be served from it as well. It's even quite fast, the limiting factor is generally the client (Windows Explorer / Mac Finder / FTP Client / whatever). It will still take some time until I get to package the sources, though.
