It would be a non-trivial project but I think you need something along
the line of a database that masquerades as a filesystem, such that each
block is actually a record in the database.

I remember from the days of DOS that I used a program that did something
similar to that by creating a file that contained "virtual sectors" and
a config.sys driver that mounted that file as a drive.  The purpose was
to get more Fidonet message files onto a hard drive by using a smaller
sector size than DOS normally allowed, and it worked really well.
