that is a very good point. when an ext3 linux samba share is mapped to a
windows drive letter, windows sees it as an ntfs partition. presumably the
whole file system could be dealt with in this way courtesy of samba code.
if this is bollocks, someone please say so, i am in way over my depth in
programming terms

Networked dirves are handled by so called redirectors, while "hardware"
or i think device file systems are handled by installable file systems.
Both of them are really hard to implement. Especially Cache manager and
Permissions. ACLs get propagated to the object manager who makes the
actual decisions.
The NTFS you saw is a kind of through propagation, which
filesystem(=capabilities) the other side uses. And thus which features
is able to handle.
