Network Block Device Server and Client Utilities
This package contains nbd-server. It is the server backend for the nbd
network block device driver that's in the Linux kernel.
nbd can be used to have a filesystem stored on another machine. It does
provide a block device, not a file system; so unless you put a
clustering filesystem on top of it, you can't access it simultaneously
from more than one client. Use NFS or a real cluster FS (such as
ocfs2) if you want to do this. nbd-server can export a file (which may
contain a filesystem image) or a partition. Swapping over nbd is
possible as well, though it's said not to be safe against OOM and
should not be used for that case. nbd-server also has a copy-on-write
mode where changes are saved to a separate file and thrown away when
the connection closes.
The package also contains the nbd-client tools, which you need to
configure the nbd devices on the client side.

- Update to version 1.18.0:
* Client: Add the "-g" option to avoid even trying the NBD_OPT_GO
message
* Server: fixes to inetd mode
* Don't make gnutls and libnl automagic.
* Server: bugfixes in handling of some export names during verification.
* Server: clean supplementary groups when changing user.
* Client: when using the netlink protocol, only set a timeout
when there actually is a timeout, rather than defaulting to 0
seconds
* Improve documentation on the nbdtab file
* Minor improvements to some error messages
* Improvements to test suite so it works better on non-GNU
userland environments
