10 Template: nbd-server/number
13 _Description: Number of nbd-server instances to run:
14 Multiple nbd-server processes may run to export multiple files or
15 block devices. Please specify how many configurations for such servers you
18 Note that you can always add extra servers by adding them to
19 /etc/nbd-server/config, or by running "dpkg-reconfigure nbd-server".
21 Template: nbd-server/port
23 _Description: TCP Port for server number ${number}:
24 Please specify the TCP port this instance of nbd server will use for
25 backwards compatibility with older clients.
27 Template: nbd-server/name
29 _Description: Name of export ${number}:
30 Please specify a name for this export.
32 Template: nbd-server/filename
34 _Description: File to export (server number ${number}):
35 Please specify a file name or block device that should be exported
36 over the network. You can export a real block device (for instance
37 "/dev/hda1"); a normal file (such as "/export/nbd/bl1"); or a
38 bunch of files all at once. For the third option, you can
39 use "%s" in the filename, which will be expanded to the
40 IP-address of the connecting client. An example would be
41 "/export/swaps/swp%s".
43 Note that it is possible to tune the way in which the IP address will
44 be substituted in the file name. See "man 5 nbd-server" for details.
46 Template: nbd-server/autogen
48 _Description: AUTO_GEN is set to "n" in /etc/nbd-server
49 The /etc/nbd-server file contains a line that sets the AUTO_GEN variable
50 to "n". The file will therefore not be regenerated automatically.
52 Note that the current version of the nbd-server package no longer uses
53 /etc/nbd-server. Instead it uses a new configuration file, read by
54 nbd-server itself (rather than the init script), which supports more
55 options. See "man 5 nbd-server" for details.
57 If you remove or comment out the AUTO_GEN line, a file
58 /etc/nbd-server/config in the new format may be generated based on the
59 current configuration. Until then, the nbd-server installation will be
62 Template: nbd-server/convert
65 _Description: Convert old-style nbd-server configuration file?
66 A pre-2.9 nbd-server configuration file has been found on this system.
67 The current nbd-server package no longer supports this file and will
68 not work if it is kept as is.
70 If you choose this option, the system will generate a new style
71 configuration file based upon the old-style configuration file, which
72 will be removed. Otherwise, configuration questions will be asked and
73 the system will generate a new configuration file.
75 If a new-style configuration file already exists and you choose this
76 option, you will shortly see a "modified configuration file" prompt, as
79 Template: nbd-server/useports
82 _Description: Support port-based exports?
83 Since version 2.9.18, nbd-server supports name-based exports, rather
84 than port-based ones. While this is generally preferable, you may have
85 to support systems running an older version of nbd-client, or might
86 need to go through a lot of trouble to update your older configurations
87 in order to migrate to name-based exports. In either of those cases,
88 you should accept this option.
90 Everyone else should leave the option at the default setting, which
91 will cause nbd-server to only support name-based exports.
