I haven't worked with this Kernel Device in well over 4 years, but check out the "Network Block Device" (NBD) - I originally experimented with mounting and taking forensically-sound partition images over the network with this kernel device, but I dunno if it will suit your particular need. the NBD and ENBD (Enhanced Network Block Device) were originally intended to allow for creating a RAID across diverse objects (files, partitions, disks, etc) across a network.

I'm actually trying to access a raw partition residing in machine 2 from machine 1. Since raw partition do not have any filesystem (i doubt if it can be mounted), do you think symlinks can be created
Symlinks, certainly will not work, they need a filesystem. Exporting raw partitions, I have no idea how to do that. I'll think about it.
dd and some network tool? :-?
