Fairly okay. There's some performance issues that I need to work on, but these are unlikely to be noticeable unless you're running nbd-server for a whole classroom of fairly modern x86 machines, or some such. And then still. I doubt m68k machines will slow down because of NBD. The very first NBD installation that I did was on quickstep, back when its SCSI driver was still rather crap. It was faster over NBD than it was to local disk. Running Debian/m68k was the reason why I started doing NBD in the first place :-) > Do you think a root-on-nbd sy‐ stem could help with the issue of dead > old hard discs on the older buildds?

In my opinion, it's definitely a good idea. -- The volume of a pizza of thickness a and radius z can be described by the following formula: pi zz a -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
