Not personally. The testing that I did last year just used regular NBDs. I'm not sure what the difference is. Basically, the NBDs allow you to use container files as raw devices -- it's nice because you don't need to mess around with the disks, just create some files and serve them up through the NBDs.

Any experience with ENBD (Extended NBD), also from SourceForge?

If you are using Linux, you can use NBD's (network block devices) that will allow you to use a third PC as a storage device. You can download the drivers at http://nbd.sourceforge.net/

There's a pretty good paper out there as well, at http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kripac/orac-nbd/ that will walk you through the installation and configuration of the NBDs.

The performance isn't great, but it works. If you need more information, let me know -- I did a paper on this at IOUG last year and would be happy to send it to you.

Regards,
Brian
