A UNIX OS can remote mount almost anything..

I've administered Suns, and as a matter of fact we used NFS servers (Network File Systems) to remote mount users home directories. This way you could log in to any system in the company and see all your files.

We even remote mounted CDs, as several older Sun systems didn't come with CD-ROMs as standard.

Local UNIX accounts from what I've seen are a bit unusual in the business world.

Macs have been able to remotely mount volumes and CDs as well, but this is the first time we have seen remote mounting of disk _images_.
