Xen devel - Nov 2005 - using network block device (nbd) as the guest disk

Hi Folks,
I am trying to use a remote disk as the guest VM''s root file system. I
see
that I need to specify nbd instead of phy as the disk value in the guest
config file. I also see that hotplug scripts try to call "nbd-client"
(/etc/xen/scripts/block-nbd) utility to make a connection to the remote
disk. I am however not able to find this "nbd-client" utility. Also I
am not
able to find the corresponding server (e.g. nbd-server) utility.

Could anyone please let me know if using nbd works with Xen and if yes, how
to get it to work (where to get the client and server utilities).

Thanks,
Sanjay
