    The aoetools project at http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoetools/
    includes the package vblade:

    "This is a beta release of vblade, the virtual EtherDrive (R) blade.
    The vblade is a program that makes a seekable file available over an
    ethernet local area network (LAN) via the ATA over Ethernet (AoE)
    protocol."

    PS. This month's Linux Journal has an article about AoE.

    Raf.
