"We are excited to announce that Haiku developer Ingo Weinhold has recently committed UserlandFS to the repository. UserlandFS is designed to provide, for the first time in Haiku (and the BeOS platform), a stable and flexible environment for file system add-on development. Along with UserlandFS, Ingo has also committed several file system modules, including a Reiser FS 3.6 read-only implementation, a RAM FS (which is still work in progress), and NetFS, a Haiku-specific networking file system. NetFS is a native Haiku network file system that provides peer-to-peer networking capabilities for computers running Haiku on a LAN and includes full support for BFS attributes and live queries."

P2P was only used here in the same sense as with CIFS or NFS. Nothing to do with your copying orgy fantasies. That will have to wait until I write besharefs
Btw, Haiku already has NFS, so it's not our first networked fs. However NFS (v2) doesn't support attributes, let alone queries. (v4 supports attributes in some way, so could be interesting later.)
Same with FUSE, it models the Linux VFS which has no concept of queries; UserlandFS was written to test in-the-making native filesystems (I suppose he used it to test reiser), not implement Linux' VFS.
