Package: nbd-server Version: 1:2.8.7-3 Severity: normal when using nbd-server with the "-a timeout" option, it will often disconnect running nbd-client instances that have merely been inactive for a while. it would be much, much more useful if it implemented some sort of "ping" to determine if the nbd-client instance is still there, just not very active.
the workaround is just to have the machine running an nbd-client make nbd accesses periodically just to keep the connection alive... but that's kind of ugly. live well, vagrant -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-vserver-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages nbd-server depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines nbd-server recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
