I'm not aware of any such thing. In fact, NBD isn't "blockdevice-over-IP", either, since that would imply something like the ability to relay cdrom ioctl()s, and similar, which NBD does not have. Instead, it's storage-over-IP, which implies that you can also export regular files. Few people seem to realize this, however. -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
