I'm looking at messing with network block devices and found 2 "servers"
in the debian unstable tree. "nbd-server" and "enbd" (enhanced network
block device support). Is either one better than the other?
:wq!

Some of my friends were fiddling around with it some time back. AFAIR enbd
-server is a user level process were as nbd was in the kernel.

nbd is simple and works. I have managed to at least oops both enbd
and drbd. They have more features but...

I hadn't heard of drbd before, but my experience with enbd has also been
worse than my experience with nbd.
