Public bug reported: Ubuntu version: Description: Ubuntu 17.04 Release: 17.04
Package version: nbd-client: Installed: 1:3.15.1-2 Candidate: 1:3.15.1-2 Version table: *** 1:3.15.1-2 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Steps to reproduce: -Use nbd-client 3.15.1-2 (Zesty) -Connect to nbd server and read from host (i.e. sudo nbd-client dt56.xenrt.citrite.net /dev/nbd2 -N "") -Attempt to connect again to server without explicitly disconnecting -Connection fails and returns the following error message: ------ root@thomasmc-VirtualBox:~/Documents# sudo nbd-client dt56.xenrt.citrite.net /dev/nbd2 -N "" Warning: the oldstyle protocol is no longer supported. This method now uses the newstyle protocol with a default export Negotiation: ..size = 0MB bs=1024, sz=0 bytes Error: Ioctl NBD_SET_SOCK failed: Invalid argument Exiting. ------ Error message does not make it clear that error occured because I failed to disconnect. This is particularly confusing as with nbd-client 3.12 I was able to connect repeatedly without the need for an explicit disconnect. What I expected to happen: Either for the second connection to pass (as it does with nbd-cliebt 3.12) or if its going to fail for it to make clear that the failure is because I failed to disconnect. What happened instead: Connection failed and passed an unhelpful error message. ** Affects: nbd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1706541 Title: nbd-client error message unclear when failing to disconnect from server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nbd/+bug/1706541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
