Greeting! I've been using NBD since 2.9.11 and appreciate the functionality and simplicity. It's become essential element for software RAID between primary and secondary servers for me.
I just tried the named exports function with 2.9.17 and cannot get it to work properly. The server that runs the nbd-server is on kernel 2.6.33.4 arch x86_64 and the server that runs the nbd-client is on the same kernel 2.6.33.4 but arch i686. The nbd-server appears to start up fine using the /etc/nbd-server/config file and is listening on the new IANA port 10809 for connections. When I issue the nbd-client command using the named export option I get a screen error and nbd-client syslog error: Aug 6 12:52:02 x86_64_srv_name nbd_client[5422]: Not enough opts_magic Aug 6 12:52:02 x86_64_srv_name nbd_client[5422]: Exiting. This nbd-client error has the nasty side effect of immediately taking down the nbd-server too. From the nbd-server syslog: Aug 6 12:52:11 other_srv_name nbd_server[27812]: negotiation failed Aug 6 12:52:11 other_srv_name nbd_server[27812]: Exiting. Aug 6 12:52:11 other_srv_name nbd_server[27812]: fcntl F_GETFL Aug 6 12:52:11 other_srv_name nbd_server[27812]: Exiting. I can get nbd-server to work using the oldstyle=true entry and assign different ports to each named export in the /etc/nbd-server/config file. I then use the deprecated nbd-client command that includes the port but not the named export. Any ideas?
