If qemu-nbd is covering all useful use cases than qemu-fuse is obsolete.
In fact I wouldn't have developed it if I had qemu-nbd when I wrote it.
I sent it because it was useful for me and I enjoyed using fuse (my
first fuse server....).
I find qemu-ndb to be small, smart and elegant. In fact I once
considered to develop a remoting method based on RPC - to remote qemu
image level verbs. I wonder if qemu-ndb is good enough for remoting or
there is still use cases (or performance considerations) that would
justify RPC level (SUN's or other) remoting. What you do think?
