I create separate project (LFS middleware https://github.com/nexenta/lfs) for now there are only 2 supported file system types (XFS and ZFS) there. Also this middleware provide API for getting file system status information (for example, for ZFS it's current pool status, etc).

It sounds strange to make Swift aware of the specific LFS. One day I come
up with ZaitcevFS and what happens then? Patching Swift again I presume.

I wish Gluster people would stop delaying their competing LFS proposal
and finally submit it. Their code was out for a year, but they apparently
are content to carry a fork forever:
