:-) NFS is your friend.  Bertram once made the observation that doing
development work on an NFS filesystem has the nice property that you're
less likely to dork your data should something go horribly wrong. 

Along similar lines, and contrary to some recent discussions, I think that
most of the older 5.25 full height drives of MFM/EDSI/SDI/SMD flavors are
more likely to fail on you than a new SCSI or IDE drive in my experience. 
If you've got the equipment, using NFS is a pretty decent way to gain
access to more storage that you could otherwise get locally on your VAX. 

As for the QDSS stuff.  Best of luck, and I'm glad someone's taken it
under their wing as a project.
