[Linux-cluster] (gfs or coda) and reiser4

I've been having trouble finding a good distributed FS.  All I want is
one server with a ton of space and some aggressive client-side caching
- -- so, basically, CODA (or maybe GFS).  But I like the performance of
Reiser4, and I like the InterMezzo concept, where the local cache might
even be used as an ordinary filesystem in a pinch.

Also, by God, on the server side, Samba and NFS are the two easiest to
set up, in that order.  I should NOT need a dedicated partition -- it
should just access local files.

I like the speed of reiser4 (among other things), so I want to use that
for the data storage and cache.  What I really want is a working
implementation of InterMezzo on Linux 2.6, but that isn't going to happen.

It looks like the only way to do what I want here is to code something
myself.  Is there a better way?
