I must of missed the first part of the conversation.... Why would you want Linux to have access to your A-disk? There might be reasons, but inquiring minds want to know, and deleted the original posts <G>.
If it is an occasional access, then the Linux guest can just FTP to/from the SFS system.

With minidisks you can use cmsfs to read what's on them. A port of IPGATE to Linux would be sort of cool, but way more effort than just "export SFS via NFS." Adam
