Are you talking about a truly relational file system?
As opposed to a truly relational O/S.
The O/S knows where it's data structures are and what they are used
for, so I don't see the advantage of the overhead of a RDBMS for O/S
files.
Although, the Windows registry could benefit from having an RDBMS
version copy of itself, since it would be easier to do ad-hoc queries
on this important structure.
