Does anyone know of commercial products attaching via VFS?

I think that you are correct that MVFS goes through the VFS switch.
MVFS (on Unix-platforms) also has a dependence on NFS (there seems to
be a similar dependence on CIFS on Windows platforms).
As for alternate filesystems that use this, perhaps the NetApp
appliances used this technique as well (to implement their value-add
stuff?)? I don't know.
