I've been waiting for years for a smart person to come along and write a POSIX-only distributed filesystem.

What exactly do you mean by "POSIX-only"?

Don't bother supporting attributes, file modes, and other details not supported by POSIX. The prime example being NFSv4, which is larded down with Windows features.

NFSv4.1 adds to the fun, by throwing interoperability completely out the window.
