NVMe-oF is already supported in Linux with target(host) and initiator(client). I've already configured and use this in my homelab with Mellanox network cards with RDMA. Performance is awesome and I have not had any problems. It is a bit messy to configure on the target. But is very easy to configure on the initiator. There is also a free NVMe-oF client driver for Windows, https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-nvme-of-initiator https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-nvme-of-initiator but I have not tested it yet. I use NVMe-oF both for block devices(ZFS volumes from traditional hard drives) and Intel Optane. It also works with SATA/SAS SSD's. It is not as fast as native, you get some additional latency but still much much better than the alternatives. What is really cool is that Optane is so fast that I can easily create 4+ partitions and share the Optane device to 4+ different systems.
