Hi Oli, if nbd-client was to be modified independently from nbd-server, we could just make it send any info we want, and have our nbdrootd daemon read it from stdin (inetd) before chaining to nbd-server. There's no need for scripts and callback functions. But I'd really prefer a clean upstream solution if it's possible, rather than maintaining an nbd-client fork just for LTSP. Btw speaking about LTSP differences, the nbd initramfs script uses commas to separate the host from the port (nbdroot=*,*,*), while the ltsp_nbd initramfs script uses colons (nbdroot=*:*) - wouldn't it be better if the same conventions were used in both cases? -- feature request: add a root-path parameter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593227 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Edubuntu Bugsquad, which is subscribed to ltsp in ubuntu. Status in “ltsp” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “nbd” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Currently nbd-server and nbd-client communicate using a different port for each image. So if e.g. an LTSP admin wants to use a chroot for nvidia-based clients and a chroot for the rest of his clients, he'd need to use two ports. And he wanted nbd swapping a third port would be needed. This is inconvenient and makes IANA applications to standarize the nbd port impossible. It'd be better if nbd-client supported two additional parameters, to be sent and processed by nbd-server at the negotiation stage: * A -path=/path/to/desired/root option (which of course the server could ignore, if it wasn't in a pool of allowed paths), and * A -swap=<requested size> option (to replace the current -swap option). If the server configuration allowed it, nbd-server (or some callback scripts) would create an appropriate swap flie of that size for the client. -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
