Package: nbd-client Version: 1:3.15.2-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I do not know if this is a nbd-client or nbd-server related bug: There is a nbd server version 1:3.16.2-1 running on a debian testing/buster server with amongst others this definition of an export in /etc/nbd-server/config: [server-media] exportname = /dev/sda5 flush = true fua = true When I connect to this export with nbd-client version 1:3.15.2-3 from a debian stretch system I get: $ sudo nbd-client -name server-media shi /dev/nbd1 Negotiation: ..Error: Read failed: End of file Exiting. When I rename this export on the server to "shi-media", restart the nbd-server.service and do: $ sudo nbd-client -name shi-media shi /dev/nbd1 Negotiation: ..size = 921600MB bs=1024, sz=966367641600 bytes I would assume this bug applies to all export names beginning with "server-". It should be possible to use export names beginning with "server-" or at least this restriction should be documented. Thanks for providing and maintaining nbd.
