Re: qemu-nbd acting as a server or not ?

[Mario Nunes (desenv)]

Same for me, I tried tonight to load with qemu-nbd from my image server and I couldn't.

I will try to use today:
https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd

Or:

Hi,

The man page for qemu-nbd reads:  qemu−nbd − QEMU Disk Network Block Device Server

I'm accessing a qcow2 image on a host using: qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0  test.qcow2

It appears that when used this way qemu-nbd does not operate as a server ...

While the fs on the image is mounted and in use :

]# nmap -p 10809 localhost
10809/tcp closed nbd

]# systemctl list-units --type=service | grep nbd
]#

So is it the case that when used in this manner it does not and is not intended to act as a server ?

Bob.
