Can't you just NFS mount the disk and write to it?
From e.g. a genSub?

The answer to your second question can be summed up in one word.

ASYN provides a worker thread to do the I/O without forcing the record

Of course you could do all that yourself from the genSub, but why
reproduce that which ASYN already provides?
