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.
