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
