This is version 2. Added wrapfs, audiofs, more userfs stuff.
I'll maintain this and organize it better if there's demand. :)
Overlay filesystem, like union mounts:
http://home.att.net/~artnaseef/ovlfs/ovlfs.html
Working Version Filesystem, storing everything in CVS (IIRC) over the
network, compatible with NFS:
http://www.wv.com/
ftp://ftp.pn.com/pub/bb/wvfs
(Previously known as Pgfs, built on top of 'ofs' -- open filesystem.)
audiofs for Linux, like on SGIs, lets you access an audio CD as a
filesystem containing audio files:
http://www.lwn.net/1999/0429/a/audiofs.html
http://fly.cc.fer.hr/~ptolomei/audiofs/
'wrapfs' is a flexible fs, ported to Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, by
amd's author:
> My research Web page is: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~ezk/research/
wofs, a WORM filesystem for SunOS (in German):

http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/wof

PerlFS, which lets you write filesystem drivers in Perl and run them in
userspace:
http://dd-sh.assurdo.com/perlfs/
perlfs@assurdo.com
. . . and stewart@neuron.com is writing a Java backend so you can write
Java fslets.
userfs, similar to PerlFS, but with backends in C++:
ftp://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/linux/RPMS (0.9.6.2-2)
(previous versions, like 0.9.4.2, didn't work with libc6/glibc)
mailing list at linux-userfs-request@vger.rutgers.edu
Originally by jeremy@sw.oz.au, Jeremy Fitzhardinge, who abandoned it in 1997
More info (working version for Linux 2.2.6) at
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~mccormack/userfs.html
Lots of nice information at
http://www.hex.net/~cbbrowne/linuxkernel.html on filesystems and other
kernel things.
e2compr -- transparent compression for ext2fs -- is at
http://www.netspace.net.au/~reiter/e2compr/ or
http://debs.fuller.edu/e2compr/
Of course, there's Coda, which is similar to AFS, but supports
disconnected operation:
http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/
"Arla", a free implementation of AFS (working client, experimental kernel):
http://www.stacken.kth.se/projekt/arla/
arla-{announce,drinkers}@stacken.kth.se
"Podfuk" (Czech for fiddle), another userfs/PerlFS/ofs equiv -- but
this time using Coda. Includes fs-based decompression and untarring as
applications:
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/podfuk/podfuk.html
"AVFS" -- "A virtual filesystem" -- allows transparent tar, gzip, zip,
bzip2, and rar reading. In C library, not kernel:
http://www.inf.bme.hu/~mszeredi/avfs/
"docfs" -- "unified documentation sotrage and retrieval for Linux
systems" -- generates documentation on the fly. Sort of like an
automounter for document formats. Appears to have been conceived in
mid-1997, but not implemented:
http://www.on-line.de/~lutz.behnke/docfs/index.html
"devfs" -- like Plan9's filesystem. Basically an alternative to
"special files":
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/kernel-patches.html
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/docs/devfs.txt
The standard for large file access in Unix:
http://www.sas.com/standards/large.file/
The famed reiserfs, based on balanced trees, intended to allow storage
of many small files:
http://idiom.com/~beverly/reiserfs.html
http://devlinux.com/namesys/
Log-structured filesystem projects:
http://collective.cpoint.net/prof/lfs/ -- abandoned since 1998-10-02 at least
linux-ljfs-request@majordomo.ibasys.net -- central discussion point
http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/czezatke/lfs.html -- appears to be viable,
but not yet in beta
(by Christian Czezatke, originally by Adam of Yggdrasil?)

http://gfs.lcse.umn.edu/

gfs-devel"
Time Capsule Filesystem: intended to be decipherable without a specification,
useful for long-term archival:

vs3fs: experimental steganographic filesystem:
http://ca.us.mirrors.freshmeat.net/appindex/1998/10/10/908004177.html
apparently has become "sfspatch" and "sfstools":

cfs: cryptographic filesystem: similar to tcfs. Originally by Matt Blaze;
available from cfs@research.att.com for USians.
http://www.debian.org/Packages/stable/otherosfs/cfs.html
ftp://ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/crypto/misc/
ftp://research.att.com/dist/mab/ has information about it.
AtFS, "The Attributed File System" -- versioning, application-defined
arbitrary key=value metadata, C-library-based. Part of "ShapeTools", a
software configuration management system.
