I thought this may be interesting to the people on the list.

I was pointed to the GLScube project (http://www.glscube.org/), which
tries to implement semantic storage in usesrpace.  GLScube (GLS^3)
stands for GNU/Linux Semantic Storage System.  It provides a C++ API for
programmers to use, and also exports a virtual filesystem (glscubefs)
using FUSE, so that legacy applications can take advantage of its
functionality.  It performs incremental indexing (I assume using
either inotify or dnotify).

It is licensed under the GPL and can be downloaded from their website.
Unfortunately, the 0.1 tarball that I downloaded doesn't seem to include
Makefiles, so I'm not sure how to build it.

They also have video demos available on the site.

I think that what makes this more interesting to ReiserFS people,
compared to, say, Beagle, is the glscubefs, which allows legacy
applications to take advantage of GLScube functionality.  Although we'll
have to see how much functionality is actually exposed through glscubefs
(i.e. can we do everything from the commandline?).
