I test built this on a ~ppc64 machine. Was successfully able to export block devices and see them from another (x86) mchine on my lan: # mac-fdisk -l /dev/nbd1 /dev/nbd1 # type name length base ( size ) system /dev/nbd11 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map /dev/nbd12 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 1600 @ 64 (800.0k) NewWorld bootblock /dev/nbd13 Apple_Free 260544 @ 1664 (127.2M) Free space /dev/nbd14 Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_2 116925293 @ 262208 ( 55.8G) HFS /dev/nbd15 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 2097152 @ 117187501 ( 1.0G) Linux swap /dev/nbd16 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root 200888403 @ 119284653 ( 95.8G) Linux native Block size=512, Number of Blocks=320173056 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 I'm testing it more in order to verify its useable, but at least the ndb-shared devices are seen.
thanks! added ~ppc64.
