So every time - the client computer wants to read, e.g., /dev/nb0, it sends a - request over TCP to the server, which will reply with the data read. - This can be used for stations with low disk space (or even diskless) - to borrow disk space from another computer. - Unlike NFS, it is possible to put any filesystem on it, etc. - - For more information, or to download the nbd-client and nbd-server - tools, go to http://nbd.sf.net/. - - The nbd kernel module need only be installed on the client - system, as the nbd-server is completely in userspace. In fact, - the nbd-server has been successfully ported to other operating - systems, including Windows. |
