* Concurrent access - I think this is a key feature. Supporting regular files will be good for this as you can support easily concurrent access via locking at the expense of performance
What kind of locking do you have in mind?
* Large file support - A practical approach to this would be to limit the support to 64-bit systems, which are starting to be very common and in which you don't have mmap issues. Would this be a good idea ?
There are filesystems out there that support 128 bits for file sizes. So I think there needs to be a more general solution.
