Not personally. The testing that I did last year just used regular NBDs. I'm not sure what the difference is. Basically, the NBDs allow you to use container files as raw devices -- it's nice because you don't need to mess around with the disks, just create some files and serve them up through the NBDs.

You can download the drivers at http://nbd.sourceforge.net/ There's a pretty good paper out there as well, at http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kripac/orac-nbd/ that will walk you through the installation and configuration of the NBDs. The performance isn't great, but it works. If you need more information, let me know -- I did a paper on this at IOUG last year and would be happy to send it to you.
