(https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2018/10/29/new-in-nbdkit-create-a-virtual-floppy-disk/) - Magic config key allows simpler invocation of many plugins, eg: nbdkit file file=foo becomes: nbdkit file foo - data: Add disk2data.pl script to generate data parameters. - data: Use ‘<file’ to inline a file. - vddk: Use ‘-D vddk.diskinfo=1’ to enable extra debug information. - tests: Use a helper function to refactor and simplify most tests. - partition filter: Can handle > 128 GPT partitions. - nbdkit can be compil...

...giving more fine-grained control over the allocation strategy. Currently implemented strategies are: sparse array, sparse array with zstd compression, malloc, and malloc with mlock. nbdkit-data-plugin(1) data format now supports strings and alignment. The "disk2data.pl" script has been enhanced to detect repeated sequences and produce a more compact output. nbdkit-curl-plugin(1) adds support for arbitrary custom request headers. Also it now supports scripts for generating cookies and custom request headers. This is especiall...

This series is based on my blog posting here: https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2019/09/13/nbdkit-supports-exportnames/ It depends on the fix for realloc: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-September/thread.html#00103 This series adds a fun plugin, and also an semi-related feature I've long thought to be desirable. You can consider patches 1 & 4, and patches 2 & 3 as forming
