Not exactly. In Smalltalk we tend more towards storing data as objects
in images, rather than as bytes in files, so filesystem research
doesn't seem very interesting in the context of Smalltalk.
However, Craig Latta is working on a P2P distributed way of moving code
objects between images, which would be the closest Smalltalky
equivalent. See http://www.netjam.org/squat/
