| Summary | 0001007: nbd (network block device) support in kernel-ml | ||||
| Description | Hello, Would it be possible to enable the NBD module in future kernel-ml builds? CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD Rhel 8.1 stock kernel has it but it does not seem to work very well. Thanks! | ||||

Thank you for making the request. It prompted me to check the master configuration files for the kernel-lt and kernel-ml package sets. [kernels]$ grep -R CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD * | sort | grep -E '4\.4\.220|5\.6\.8|5\.7\.0' el6/config-4.4/config-4.4.220-i686:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m el6/config-4.4/config-4.4.220-i686-NONPAE:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m el6/config-4.4/config-4.4.220-x86_64:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m el7/config-4.4/config-4.4.220-x86_64:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m el7/config-5.6/config-5.6.8-x86_64:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m el7/config-5.7/config-5.7.0-x86_64:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD=m el8/config-5.6/config-5.6.8-x86_64:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD is not set el8/config-5.7/config-5.7.0-x86_64:# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD is not set [kernels]$ I see an inconsistency . . . which will be corrected in the next build of the kernel-ml package set for el8. |

Thanks, I saw there was an old feature request for nbd on el7 kernel-ml/lt which was implemented. I thought it was a bit odd that it was not included in el8 kernels. The nbd driver in stock kernels is crippled to only work with unix domain sockets. |

With the recent release of the kernel-ml-5.6.9-1.el8.elrepo package set [1] this request has now been fulfilled. Now closing as "resolved/fixed". [1] http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2020-May/005185.html |
