    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You cannot (AFAIK) remotely mount an ext2-based file system (includes ext3 and ext4). You would export them as NFS or Samba shares, and mount them on the remote system as an NFS or CIFS share accordingly.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
