[Nbd] NBD server not working with qemu
I'm writing a simple NBD server in rust as a learning project. I have something
simple working with the kernel NBC client, however, it does not work with the
QEMU client.
I'm using Debian Jessie versions to test against.
So far my server uses only the "un-fixed" new protocol (I'm working from
proto.md), without NBD_FLAG_NO_ZEROES.
I'm wondering, since I can seem to work with the kernel client, if the QEMU
client (version 1:2.1+dfsg-12+deb8u6) is incompatible with that protocol? The
handshaking completes (from my server's perspective), and then everything stops
with my server waiting for client requests which never come.
I'll implement the fixed newstyle protocol and see if that fixes things. But
would be interested to know if QEMU is supposed to support the unfixed protocol.
Thanks,
Alex
