Re: One new nbd-runner project to support the Gluster/Ceph/Azure, etc
Hi Xiubo Li,
Sorry for not coming back to you about this yet. It was the first time
that someone asked for a repository under the NetworkBlockDevice
umbrella, and I wasn't sure how to handle it yet ;-)
My gut feeling is that this is not really a good fit for the
NetworkBlockDevice project space on github. Its purpose is to be a
gateway, rather than a standalone server; to me, that means it does not
really belong with the reference server etc.
That doesn't mean I don't want to link to your project; I do think it is
rather cool. But not as a repository in the NetworkBlockDevice umbrella.
Instead, I'm going to add a link on the README or some such.
Regards,
