Um, does v9fs remote Linux devices? I find it hard to imagine it would remote ioctls but it makes sense *nix to *nix.

If not, are there any other alternatives? Are there any gotchas remoting *nix devices?

If v9fs works in such a configuration it would eliminate most of the issues I have with *nix resource sharing - unless I use a platform without 9fs a 9fs client and servers.

That just leaves my issues with X.

Cheers,
