I haven't tried it myself. The main motivation is to use it with Scaleway, a cloud hosting company that offers arm64 servers, but they need to boot from NBD. https://github.com/freqlabs/nbd-client -Alan ___ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Having a port might also attract more users, and it cloud save your upgrading time in the future. It would be nice to also let upstream know there is demand of using it on FreeBSD.
