nbdserve
---
Simple network block device server. Created because of usual nbd-server is tricky-ish to cross-compile. Also it typically requires config file, which is inconvenient for one-off use.
There are pre-built versions for Linux, Mac, Windows and Android on [releases page](https://github.com/vi/nbdserve/releases/).
IPv6 is supported, use options like `-a [::1]`.
```

# Windows
On windows, you can use with physical drives like so:
List physical drives:
```
wmic diskdrive list brief
```
Build and run (note that physical drives seem to only work in read only mode):
```
wmic diskdrive list brief
cargo build --release
.\target\release\nbdserve.exe --addr 0.0.0.0 \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 --read-only
```
You can use the [firewall-rule.ps1](firewall-rule.ps1) script to add the needed firewall rules to
the windows firewall.
