Package: nbd-server
Version: 1:2.8.7-3
Severity: normal
when using nbd-server with the "-a timeout" option, it will often
disconnect running nbd-client instances that have merely been inactive
for a while. it would be much, much more useful if it implemented some
sort of "ping" to determine if the nbd-client instance is still there,
just not very active.
the workaround is just to have the machine running an nbd-client make
nbd accesses periodically just to keep the connection alive... but
that's kind of ugly.
live well,
vagrant

Forgot to mention this in the changelog, but the latest upload of nbd
removes support for the timeout option, thereby fixing this issue.
