Summary: Network Block Device server and client utilities
 
This package contains nbd-server. It is the server backend for the nbd
network block device driver that's in the Linux kernel.

nbd can be used to have a filesystem stored on another machine. Unlike
NFS, it can't be accessed simultaneously from more than one client. Use
drbd or NFS or a real cluster FS (such as  ocfs2) if you want to do
this. nbd-server can export a file (which may contain a filesystem
image) or a partition. Swapping over nbd is possible as well, though
it's said not to be safe against OOM. nbd-server also has a
copy-on-write mode where changes are saved to a separate file and
thrown away when the connection closes.

The package also contains the nbd-client tools, which you need to
configure the nbd devices on the client side.
