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.

I am sympathetic....  Cutting those out may still leave you with
something pretty complicated, though.

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

What parts are you worried about in particular?
