-                      Network Block Device (TCP version)
-                                       
-   What is it: With this compiled in the kernel (or as a module), Linux
-   can use a remote server as one of its block devices. So every time
-   the client computer wants to read, e.g., /dev/nb0, it sends a
-   request over TCP to the server, which will reply with the data read.
-   This can be used for stations with low disk space (or even diskless -
-   if you boot from floppy) to borrow disk space from another computer.
-   Unlike NFS, it is possible to put any filesystem on it, etc. It should
-   even be possible to use NBD as a root filesystem (I've never tried),
-   but it requires a user-level program to be in the initrd to start.
-   It also allows you to run block-device in user land (making server
-   and client physically the same computer, communicating using loopback).
-   
-   Current state: It currently works. Network block device is stable.
-   I originally thought that it was impossible to swap over TCP. It
-   turned out not to be true - swapping over TCP now works and seems
-   to be deadlock-free, but it requires heavy patches into Linux's
-   network layer.
-   
-   For more information, or to download the nbd-client and nbd-server
-   tools, go to http://nbd.sf.net/.
-
-   Howto: To setup nbd, you can simply do the following:
-
-   First, serve a device or file from a remote server:
-
-   nbd-server <port-number> <device-or-file-to-serve-to-client>
-
-   e.g.,
-        root@server1 # nbd-server 1234 /dev/sdb1
-
-        (serves sdb1 partition on TCP port 1234)
-
-   Then, on the local (client) system:
-
-   nbd-client <server-name-or-IP> <server-port-number> /dev/nb[0-n]
-
-   e.g.,
-        root@client1 # nbd-client server1 1234 /dev/nb0
-
-        (creates the nb0 device on client1)
-
-   The nbd kernel module need only be installed on the client
-   system, as the nbd-server is completely in userspace. In fact,
-   the nbd-server has been successfully ported to other operating
-   systems, including Windows.
