Quite a few people have attempted work in this area, but as with
Microsoft, the plan to combine a traditional database and a
traditional filesystem never seems to come to fruition.

If you are interested in this sort of stuff, the only really serious
attempt I have seen in the recent years is the work of Hans Reiser, of
reiserfs fame. Take a read through the pages at:

And possibly pick the thread up over on one of the database or
filesystem news groups. ;)
