How could you even determine which disk blocks to read without reading the big-endian raw disk data?

I'm guessing that info would be read on the server then transferred over the network somehow.

But if you can talk to the server over the network, might as well get the file that way.

Then why using UFS and not ZFS which is directly readable/writable whatever the server endianness ?
