Is there a way to fully close enbd devices? Stopping enbd-client only seems to stop the device from working, it stays open and can't be reused with a different signature (the symptoms leading me to that conclusion: The messages from enbd-client on trying to reuse, and the reports of /proc/nbdinfo). Yes, I've read the gotcha on the webpage, but my use case is different: Using enbd with LTSP to connect remote devices on clients. I have a daemon script on the clients checking for devices, and a service running on the server which can register or unregister devices, thus device assignment is automatic. While I could hardcode a signature, I had the understanding that more than one connection to the same client with the same signature is not a good idea? (It doesn't run the stat services though, so if you say it is safe then fine). Dynamically assigning signatures that are hard-coded per device adds unnecesarry complexity to my device registering protocol. If I could just close the devices I would be happy (any messages I can send to /proc/nbdinfo perhaps?). Running 2.4.32pre (thanks a lot for the -m switch!). // Dag Sverre
