[erlang-questions] servers for mountable remote file systems

Hello,
I want to make a remote virtual device that I can mount on mac-os X/linux etc.
It seems like there are three alternatives
a) webdav
b) samba/smb
c) NFS
I need an Erlang server that implements a virtual file system as a
back-end to the protocol
in question.
I can imagine emulating a large number of small files - the mounted
file system would appear to have a
large number of small files - but in fact these would not exist but be
emulated in the server.
Has anybody implemented servers for the above protocols in Erlang? or
do I have to start from
scratch? Is any of these protocols to be preferred over the others,
given that I want to emulate
a large number of small files. Is my list a) - c) complete are there
other protocols I should consider?
/Joe
