That's indeed an interesting question. I'd say to some extend it's answered in
[1]. However, to me it looks like just another filesystem in the classical
sense. The one that really brings something new to the Linux filesystem world
will be btrfs. I've already tried some older versions of it and it looks very
promising. Volumes, RAID, data integrity, etc, all integrated into the
filesystem, similar to Suns ZFS.
