How about implementing all the data storage stuff as a filesystem 
driver? Then instead of having to work with the datastore is a single 
file, you can just work in xanadu terms with the disk :)

I guess you'd need to find all kinds of analogs to files and 
directories and links though.  (And isn't there something called a 
"door" on SunOS or something?)

I don't really know that much about linux file systems, though I've 
thought about various virtual filesystems to work with stuff like 
Freenet etc.
