Embracing NVMe/TCP on the desktop
summary
Proposal shows a working path to mount NVMe/TCP exports as ordinary desktop block devices using the kernel NVMe target, nvme-cli, libnvme, GVfs and udisks; exported subsystems advertise via mDNS and connect with an nvme+tcp URI, udev scans the namespace into partitions and udisks treats it like a local disk. The udisks NVMe initiator built on libnvme is implemented and usable now, with GUI integration (file managers, GNOME Disks) planned.
