I’m pleased to announce the next stable release of nbdkit. NBD — Network Block Device — is a protocol for accessing Block Devices (hard disks and disk-like things) over a Network. nbdkit is a toolkit for creating NBD servers. The key features are: * Multithreaded NBD server written in C with good performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic server. * Liberal license (BSD) allows nbdkit

This allows to overlay bad sectors according to the mapfile generated by ddrescue, to then see where sectors are used using fsck and trying to copy files around. Should now be mature enough to be useful to someone else. And we have a proper test also. Signed-off-by: François Revol <revol@free.fr> --- configure.ac | 2 + filters/ddrescue/Makefile.am

I'm pleased to announce the release of nbdkit 1.18, a high performance plugin-based Network Block Device (NBD) server. Key features of nbdkit: * Multithreaded NBD server written in C with good performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic server. * Liberal license (BSD) allows nbdkit to be linked to proprietary libraries or included in proprietary code. * Well-documented, simple

I'm pleased to announce the joint release of libnbd 1.0 and nbdkit 1.14. These are a high performance NBD client library and server. Key features of libnbd: * Synchronous API for ease of use. * Asynchronous API for writing non-blocking, multithreaded clients. You can mix both APIs freely. * High performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic library. * Well-documented, stable

I would really like to release a new stable nbdkit (1.8) soon. The reasons are not only because of the many great new features (which I summarise below) but also a few practical reasons: - Dropping mandatory [key=].. (ie. "magic config key") for many plugin parameters makes nbdkit much easier to use and easier to describe to potential users. - Demonstrated utility of log filter

nbdkit is an NBD server toolkit with stable ABI and permissive license. "Non-traditional" disk images can be served to anything that can consume disk images over NBD (qemu, libguestfs, etc.) More information: https://github.com/libguestfs/nbdkit Source download: http://download.libguestfs.org/nbdkit/ I'm pleased to announce the first new release in over a year.

Hi Eric: Here's the problem: We have a VMware VDDK file or snapshot. The virtual size of the snapshot is generally much larger than what's allocated. Copying the snapshot using: nbdkit vddk file=foo.vmdk --run 'qemu-img convert $nbd out' is therefore much slower than it could be. (In the real world version of this we're actually copying the source over the network, but

VDDK plugin + --run was broken because of the following sequence of events: (1) After .config_complete, server redirects stdin/stdout to /dev/null. (2) Server then calls vddk_get_ready which reexecs. (3) We restart the server from the top, but with stdin/stdout redirected to /dev/null. So saved_stdin/saved_stdout save /dev/null. (4) run_command is called which "restores"

This assumes bashisms, but bash is required to run the tests. This is mostly simple refactoring. Except for the test-memory*.sh tests where nbdkit used to run in the foreground, but that seems to be a consequence of some left over debugging. --- tests/functions.sh.in | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test-blocksize.sh | 23 +++---------- tests/test-cache.sh
