I'm not a sheepdogophile, but I believe they are developing libsheepdog for that sort of thing. You could then use an nbd server or similar to provide the device. ceph/rados/rdb does this through /dev/rdb - you describe this as 'very experimental' which is sadly an understatement as far as I'm concerned (e.g. listing a ceph directory hung the machine), though perhaps it has improved over the last few months. -- Alex Bligh
