Hi!
I watched fosdem talk about nbdkit... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E5A608xJG0 . Nice. But word of warning: I'm not sure using it read-write on localhost is safe.
In particular, user application could create a lot of dirty data quickly. If there's not enough memory for nbdkit (or nbd-client or nbd-server), you might get a deadlock.
Also note that nbd.txt in Documentation/blockdev/ points to sourceforge; it should probably point to https://github.com/NetworkBlockDevice/nbd ?
Best regards,
