Sounds good! We are using NBD in combination with SQFS on diskless 
workstations. Often the list of pending server threads does not give
the full picture of connected clients because they are dead already.
So it would be nice to have it!

A bit related question: Would it be possible to survive a suspend-to-
ram with NBD? Problem would be the dead TCP session after a while ...

Thanks!! Dirk
