Hi Wouter,

this configuration works and might be used as a workaround:

===============
# Name of the first used nbd /dev-entry:
NBD_DEVICE[0]="/dev/nbd0"
#
# Type; s=swap, f=filesystem (with entry in /etc/fstab), r=raw (no
other setup
# than to run the client)
NBD_TYPE[0]="s"
#
# The host on which the nbd-server process is running
NBD_HOST[0]="swapserver"
#
# The port on which this client needs to connect
NBD_PORT[0]="10809"
#
# Any extra parameters you would want to specify
NBD_EXTRA[0]="-N swap"
===============

However, it is not possible to get it from dpkg-reconfigure:

root@mainserver:/# dpkg-reconfigure nbd-client
sed: -e expression #6, char 30: unterminated `s' command

The space in "-N swap" kills sed.

And, btw, from the man page:

       -N     Specifies the name of the export that we want to  use.
              Required if the port is not specified, not allowed in the other
              case.                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^

Contradicts the working example.


Best regards,

     Andi
