37a Package: nbd-client Description-md5: 50b5081db709f9bc399b8b74366d1d8f Description-en: Network Block Device protocol - client Network Block Device (NBD) is a client/server protocol that emulates a block device (such as a hard disk, a floppy, or a CD-ROM) over the network, thus giving the system the ability to swap over the network, or to use raw network disk space for other purposes. . However, writing to one Network Block Device from different clients simultaneously is not recommended, and would probably result in data loss. If you want multiple clients to share a remote resource, use a network file system such as NFS or Coda. . This package provides the client binary for NBD.
