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.
