About:
The ENBD (Enhanced Network Block Device) is an industrial-strength version of the Linux kernel NBD. It makes a remote disk look like a local block device, allowing cheap and safe realtime mirrors to be built over the net. It features internal block-journalling and multichannel failover.

Release focus: N/A

Changes:
Improvements from the development series have been backported to the stable series. They now share (almost) exactly the same kernel driver again. Various fixes were made in the stable version involving timeouts and signal catching. In development code private mmaps were changed to shared mmaps, the same signal handling problem as in stable code was fixed, and new clients on the same socket were allowed to oust old ones rather than be blocked by them.

[»] nbd-server which can even serve partitions
by Folkert van Heusden - Jul 14th 2003 11:53:45

Hi, I wrote a nbd-server for windows which can also server partitions which are not in a file, but are live on disk so to say.
Of course, 64-bit clean etc.
It can be downloaded from:

(executable + source)
