The man page for qemu-nbd reads: qemu−nbd − QEMU Disk Network Block Device Server
I'm accessing a qcow2 image on a host using: qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 test.qcow2
It appears that when used this way qemu-nbd does not operate as a server ...
While the fs on the image is mounted and in use :
]# nmap -p 10809 localhost
10809/tcp closed nbd
]# systemctl list-units --type=service | grep nbd
]#
So is it the case that when used in this manner it does not and is not intended to act as a server ?
Bob.
