Andrea I have taken the liberty of moving your question over to this new thread. If you search for past discussions on nbd vs nfs you will find many hits. The gain in speed (I venture to guess) is dependent on other factors such as your network hardware and a typical load on it in your setup. A short answer is that it is faster. However, after updating the chroot (the portion that the client runs with) it will also be necessary to update the nbd image. Again this may be negigible in some cases and an annoying time consuming step in another case. There are more "bits" to get right with nbd and so some say the nfs way is easier to maintain and support. Personally I have used both and am now more interested in nbd. Hence my thread in its use with Debian Jessie. Richard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!
