Bug#96728: ITP: nbd -- supporting utilities for the Linux Kernel's Network Block Device
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
I intent to package the nbd utilities by Pavel Machek, that support the
Network Block Device in the Linux Kernel. This block device is essentially
a disk server-protocol, which makes it possible to do swapping over
TCP/IP, or use the device as a filesystem when NFS or other Network
Filesystem Protocols are not sufficient for some reason.
The upstream packages are (for now) available from
http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/nbd/nbd.html
