    How do you think file systems would be handled? Apple’s SCSI/FireWire/USB/Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode just made all disks available over the interface in a filesystem-agnostic manner. Would I be able to see my ext4 boot partition, ZFS arrays, and any attached volumes?

      As with Apple’s implementation, filesystems aren’t handled - whatever device you connected with would see block devices, essentially no different from a physical disk in your system.
