I've started playing around with qemu-nbd and have started looking into named exports, aio, and adding snapshort support. I'm wondering if instead of adding this I should try to base it on your embedded server. That would give me the named exports, aio and monitor/qmp based snapshot creatation. The only thing to add would be a qemu mode where it doesn't run an actual guest. Does anyone have opinions on this?
