But, Directory Storage pretty much requires that you use ReiserFS or 
NTFS or something like that. It is a little bit slower that File Storage.

Berkeley Storage requires that you run a Berkeley DB. It is somewhat 
slower than File Storage.

Partitioned File Storage is simple and just works on any system, and has 
no particular external dependences. It is as fast as File Storage.


I think there's a viable niche for Partitioned File Storage.
