    - Network Block Device (TCP version)
    -
    - What is it: With this compiled in the kernel (or as a module), Linux
    - can use a remote server as one of its block devices. So every time
    - the client computer wants to read, e.g., /dev/nb0, it sends a
    - request over TCP to the server, which will reply with the data read.
    - This can be used for stations with low disk space (or even diskless)
    - to borrow disk space from another computer.
    - Unlike NFS, it is possible to put any filesystem on it, etc.

    +==================================

    - For more information, or to download the nbd-client and nbd-server
    - tools, go to http://nbd.sf.net/.
    +1) Overview
    +-----------

    - The nbd kernel module need only be installed on the client
    - system, as the nbd-server is completely in userspace. In fact,
    - the nbd-server has been successfully ported to other operating
    - systems, including Windows.
