The part that I haven't seen clearly addressed so far is what happens when disks get mounted across OSes (e.g. NFS).

Unless there's some kind of native NFS API for file access, it is hopelessly out of scope for Python. We use whatever the C library exports to us, and don't have any control over filesystem details.
