Another idea to work around the problem: Wouldn't it be possible to somehow specify that we only want one nbd-server process for all the clients?
I've heard of LTSP installations with thousand of clients, so even if one nbd-server process only needs as little as 1 Mb RAM, that would still amount to some Gb for thousands of clients. The "user" option of nbd-server would need to be per-process, not per export then. I haven't seen the code of nbd-server at all, I don't know if it uses "select" or "fork" to serve multiple clients, so I don't know how easily that could be accomplished. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/696454 Title: NBD booted clients don't close the connection on shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nbd/+bug/696454/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
