Network Block Device



This may not be an AMD64 question, but both systems involved are running 
Debian AMD64, so ...

Does anyone know how to get a network block device (nbd) working, or if it can 
be gotten to work? This instructions are very straight forward, but I've been 
fiddling with it all week long  and haven't yet been able to get it going.

On the server side I have running: /bin/nbd-server 1077 /vg0/swlv

On the client side, however, when I try running:
	/bin/nbd-client eljudnir 1077 /dev/nd0

I get an fsck.ext3 error message when it attempts to mount the device. 
The /etc/fstab entry is:

/dev/nd0 /mnt/nd0 ext3 defaults,ro,nouser,noauto 0 0

nbd is compiled as a module.

Problems like this often turn out to be overlooking something quite simple, so 
I'm ready to be humbled and/or humiliated.

Thanks!
