Another crazy thought that I had was about the possibly of investigating what it might take to (fork illumos for an experiment) and try to remove the dependencies on a hierarchal tree-based filesystem and to implement a type of "Property-Graph Database (PGDb)" filesystem.  The rationale here is that a hierarchal tree-based filesystem can easily be represented as well but that a PGDb filesystem also allows for assigning new types of attributes to files, blocks, objects, users, etc. and thus allowing for granular security on users at the application level.  Users can be allowed/disallowed to see/access application/files/block/objects and only authorized applications are "mapped" to a particular user.
