A GSoC student who got employed by Cluster Filesystems to do work on Lustre,
which then got acquired by Sun, who will (all things being equal) now be
acquired by Oracle. :-)

ZFS/FUSE is useful (I use it as an rsync destination for various filesystems
that I then snapshot) but it's still got a long way to go and from what I last
saw it's pretty much unmaintained now.

cheers,
