# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

nbd: nbd (Tools for the Linux Kernel's network block device)
nbd:
nbd: With NBD compiled into your kernel, Linux can use a remote server as
nbd: one of its block devices. Every time the client computer wants to
nbd: read /dev/nd0, it will send a request to the server via TCP, which
nbd: will reply with the data requested. Unlike NFS, it is possible to put
nbd: any file system on it. But (also unlike NFS), if someone has mounted
nbd: NBD read/write, you must assure that no one else will have it mounted.
