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.

And then export SFS via NFS?  Linux doesn't speak SFS either.  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."
