Description Decade 2007-04-08 08:42:57 UTC 
nbd-server is failing after a certain indeterminant amount of time for me on:
x86
ppc

Symptoms:
1. Start nbd-server.
2. Start nbd-client. It successfully negotiates.
3. Wait, and you get: "Kernel call returned: Broken pipeClosing: que, sock,
done"

1. Start nbd-server
2. Wait for a while. Maybe play with nbd-client. It'll take just a couple
minutes or so.
3. Now try nbd-client. It stops at "Negotiation:"

Strangely, nbd-server readily closes when you SIGTERM it. I haven't looked into it enough to find what's actually wrong.

Solution: Un-stable nbd-2.9.2 In the quarter hour or so I had to test 2.9.0, it
didn't fail.

The changelog says 2.9.2 has important enhancements for 64-bit-ness, so I guess you keep it on amd64. I don't have 64-bit machines to test.

sys-blocks/nbd-2.9.2 again ~ppc for now, i just missed you comment on #169080 :/
Comment 2 Tobias Scherbaum (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-08 12:00:49 UTC 
Adding amd64/x86, please verify.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2007-04-08 15:56:14 UTC 
you should really be reporting your findings to nbd.sf.net mailing lists otherwise it'll probably stay broken
Comment 4 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-04-10 09:23:26 UTC 
x86 reverted, amd64 to keep

ppc, do you want to remove yourself from cc?
Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-04-19 21:58:01 UTC 
re-open if 2.9.8+ doesnt work
