This is a great example of an edge case which many people might never need but is really useful in a pinch: that’s what provides the equivalent of the Mac target disk mode, which is really handy if you need to repair a no longer-bootable system.

Have you ever setup an iscsi shared device in linux? It’s quite complex and a bit messy.

If systemd can make something similar (i still get a block device from another host in the network) in a simpler manner that would be just awesome, truly a huge win for everybody.
