Bug#225594: [Paul.Clements@SteelEye.com: Re: 2.6 nbd.h]
Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.5.999-test7-bk-10
Severity: normal
Hi,
There's an error in the 2.6 linux/nbd.h; to make userspace
compilations work, the following patch needs to be applied:

Paul Clements, the kernel-side NBD maintainer, sent this in for
inclusion in 2.6.0, but apparantly it didn't make it in time.
It would be nice if you could apply this patch to linux-kernel-headers
already; but note that it isn't really urgent since my nbd package now
includes this header in the source package (which actually is the right
thing to do, as that will allow it at some point to be compiled on
non-linux ports, too).

So is my neck, stop it anyway!
