Re: [Nbd] [PATCH 1/1] NBD: add partition support

["Bogdan Harjoc" <harjoc@...17...>]

I was convinced I'd sent a similar (but more naive) patch for this about
two years ago to nbd-general. Now that I searched through my folders, 
it seems I'd only sent it to Wouter.

Most things are handled better by Laurent's version, with the exception
(IMO) that GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO is being removed
permanently in his, whereas I only remove it before nbd_do_it() and re-add
it afterwards. I'm attaching my version here. 

Cheers,
Bogdan

I just released nbd-2.9.10, which does just that.
