NBD doesn't have support for remoting ioctl() calls, and would need a protocol change for that to happen. I'm not sure whether it's a good idea, but of course you're always welcome to look at it :-) I should, however, mention that Peter T. Breuer's 'ENBD' does have support for ioctl() passing. You may want to have a look at that before you start doing code. ENBD is at http://www.it.uc3m.es/~ptb/nbd/ -- <Lo-lan-do> Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nbd-general mailing list Nbd-general@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nbd-general
