It doesn't do any loading at all. You have to load the modules
yourself beforehand.

They aren't loaded at all - unless you have an entry in modprobe.conf,
of course.

It didn't.

That's strange! What architecture are you on? SOmething like that can
provoke a crash! That line is:

           MSG("set size of fd %d to %Ld\n", fd, *res);

and res is declared in the argument of the function:

           getsize1(struct nbd_file * self, int fd, u64 *res) {


so either your compiler is broken or you have a machine on which long
unsigned int is a u64!


Which?
