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.

you should really be reporting your findings to nbd.sf.net mailing lists otherwise it'll probably stay broken

x86 reverted, amd64 to keep

ppc, do you want to remove yourself from cc?
