[SOLVED] NBD 2.9.17 - 2010-08-06 release

Chuck56 · 08-06-2010, 05:14 PM

Has anybody else tested out the latest release of NBD? It has a new nbd-client command line option for accessing nbd-server named exports.

The nbd-server appears to start up fine using the /etc/nbd-server/config file and is listening on the new IANA port 10809 for connections. When I issue the nbd-client command using the named export option I get a screen error and nbd-client syslog error:

Code:

Aug  6 12:52:02 srv_name nbd_client[5422]: Not enough opts_magic
Aug  6 12:52:02 srv_name nbd_client[5422]: Exiting.

This error has the nasty side effect of immediately taking down the nbd-server too. From the nbd-server syslog:

Code:

Aug  6 12:52:11 other_srv_name nbd_server[27812]: negotiation failed
Aug  6 12:52:11 other_srv_name nbd_server[27812]: Exiting.
Aug  6 12:52:11 other_srv_name nbd_server[27812]: fcntl F_GETFL
Aug  6 12:52:11 other_srv_name nbd_server[27812]: Exiting.

I can get the new version to work using the oldstyle=true entry and assign different ports to each named export in the /etc/nbd-server/config file.

Any ideas?

I got a response to the issue on the nbd-general mailing list. A last minute patch just before the nbd-2.9.17 release introduced a bug. I'll mark this thread as solved.
