<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577569 by <a href="/recipes/users/4068698/">Dima Tisnek</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/analyze/">analyze</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/block/">block</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/device/">device</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/disk/">disk</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/io/">io</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/linux/">linux</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/nbd/">nbd</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/network/">network</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>). </p> <p>Linux Network Block Device server in Python</p> <p>This is a simplified version based on Kragen Sitaker's <a href="http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-hacks/2004-May/000397.html" rel="nofollow">http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-hacks/2004-May/000397.html</a></p> <p>Close is never actually called, at least not on the same connection -- linux C nbd-client -d seems to stall, perhaps it tries to open another socket?</p> <p>This code doesn't check for error conditions, failed reads/writes, past end of disk, etc.</p> <p>It prints io requests, you can analyze filesystem and user program io patterns.</p>
