Package: nbd-client
Version: 1:2.8.7-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am writing my nbd-server replacement using python(mainly for the purpose of
plugin non-file things as a block device). But it seems that running both the
server and client on the same machine have the possbility of stalling the
whole system.

I have done some stress test without involving the kernel block driver and
both my client and server can run smoothly. However, once I use the real
nbd-client which plugs the socket to the kernel driver then doing a "mke2fs -j
/dev/nbd0", there is a good chance that the whole system would stall.

The network though continue to work as the routing function is not affected.

Is this a known issue ?
