That's a filesystem problem, showing the limitations of the ext2fs filesystem. A database shouldn't have to implement its own filesystem just because the current one is extremely limited.
Why not? In exokernels, including ExOs, "redefining the filesystem" could be routine. A filesystem created for user use is not necessarily the best kind for database use (or web cache use, for another example).
