nbd-client 1:2.8.3-1 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu edgy
the Network Block Device client
This package contains the client process for the Network Block
Device. The Network Block Device is a client/server protocol that
emulates a block device (like a hard disk, a floppy, a CD-ROM, ...)
over the network, thus giving the system the ability to swap over the
network, or to use raw network diskspace for other purposes.
.
Note, however, that it is not recommended to write to a single
networked block device from different clients simultaneously, since
that would probably result in data loss; if you want different
clients to use the same shared network resource, you don't need the
Network Block Device (which, basically, is a Disk Server protocol)
but something else, like Sun's Network File System (NFS), or CODA.
