This sort of reminds me of a SouthPark episode where "Captain Chaos" tries to come up with devious plans for world domination and his trusty sidekick keeps pointing out that each plan had already been done on The Simpson's. Little doubt this was motivated by people suggesting ideas for SouthPark and being told it had already been done on The Simpson's.
Anyway, Novell did it! Novell Storage Services, available since NetWare 5.0, is an object database with a filesystem abstraction layer on top of it. The current version allows you to split large volumes into smaller ones while retaining the directory structure with something like unix soft links.
