OK, but what I actually meant to ask was whether I need to apply some patches to nbd-client or nbd-server to make it work with The Hurd. We'll probably need to change the "#inclue <linux/nbd.h>" in cliserv.h to something saner, but is there something else that needs to be done? > But I wouldn't recommend that you try this code unless you are already > comfortable with compiling the Hurd and have (successful) experience with > running your own Hurd. I did not intend to do that; I only wanted to inform Pavel Machek of this port. But for that, I needed this information... > nbd cannot currently be used for paging on the Hurd.
