Very nice. The mount protocol is pretty minimal, though different OS clients seem to use it differently. The NFSv3 chattiness is definitely a thing, but since its all localhost its not "too bad". v4 will be nice and is something I will love to try to implement. Its quite a bit more complex though.

Another possibility I am interested in is SMB3. (SMB4 is rather nasty). Similarly, supported by most operating systems, and does not look too horrifying to implement (The protocol documentation is really really hard to read though). And has the advantage that it does not require Windows Pro edition.
