Re: kernel: block nbd0: shutting down sockets

[Pascal]

here is the log generated by the command qemu-nbd -T enable="*",file=/tmp/trace -r -s -f raw -c /dev/nbd0 /dev/sdb

something ends qemu-nbd and the only change between the two situations is that on one side the script is executed manually while on the other it is executed by a Udev rule...

git grep 'shutting down sockets'

does not have any hits in qemu.git, so the message is coming from the
kernel module, and not from the qemu-nbd side of things.  Is the
qemu-nbd process still alive when you see the error message?  Could it
be a permissions issue, where running your script via a udev rule
creates sockets with different permissions than when running the
script as root, such that the qemu-nbd process is locked out of access
to sockets needed to drive the kernel module?

Can you add a --trace parameter to qemu-nbd to cause it to log more
details about what is going on?
