FWIW, (very old) RFS source code is available in volume 3 of any
comp.sources.unix archive.
ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume3/rfs/
I'd like to think that Coda (http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/) is going to be
the next big thing in networked filesystems, but I don't know if it meets
your stated requirements.
Hope this helps,
