I recently implemented a fun little feature for systemd: inspired by MacOS' "target disk mode", a tiny tool called systemd-storagetm, that exposes all local block devices as NVMe-TCP devices, as they pop up. The idea is that if available in your initrd you can just boot into that (instead of into your full OS), and can access your disks via NVMe-TCP (in case you wonder what that is: it's the new hot shit for exposing block devices over the network, kinda like iSCSI, NBD, …, but cool).
