I was thinking of trying to write a block device driver that will talk with a server process on another machine (via TCP/IP / sockets) so that I'll be able to mount a file system via this device driver. (Ie, the server handles the reading and writing on a reserved partition for the block device driver). Now, before I go ahead with this I thought I'd ask around to see if someone else has done this before...? (Why would I do this? Because the first machine (were the block device driver will reside) hasn't got NFS, and that machine won't work with our new CDC Wren V disk... So we had to put it on another machine. Unfortunately the need for more disk space is greater on the first machine...)
