The guys at Bell Labs (Andrew Hume, in particular) presented
a paper on "The File Motel" at USENIX a number of years ago.
Getting code out of Bell Labs is, unfortunately, tough, but
you might see what happened with it. The code may have been
for Plan 9, in which case it wouldn't work very well in UNIX
unless it was ported - basically a rewrite for filesystems.
