RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Richard W.M. Jones 2021-10-07 07:33:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

Since RHEL 9 Beta was released, libnbd has released a new
stable branch (1.10).  Because of the number of backports
in RHEL 9 Beta, updating to the new stable branch for GA
is not actually a very large change.

Here are the release notes for the new stable branch:
https://libguestfs.org/libnbd-release-notes-1.10.1.html

This update is optional, we don't need to do it if it would
cause too much extra work for QE.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

libnbd-1.8.2-3.el9 -> libnbd 1.10.x
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-10-30 15:16:29 UTC 
Release notes for 1.10:
https://libguestfs.org/libnbd-release-notes-1.10.1.html

https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd/-/commits/stable-1.10/
Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-12-02 21:12:12 UTC 
This contains some fixes for obscure memory leaks in the Python bindings, see:
https://gitlab.com/nbdkit/libnbd/-/commits/stable-1.10/
Comment 6 Vera 2022-01-28 03:09:29 UTC 
Verified with the versions:
libnbd-1.10.3-1.el9.x86_64
nbdkit-1.28.4-2.el9.x86_64
nbdfuse-1.10.3-1.el9.x86_64
python3-libnbd-1.10.3-1.el9.x86_64

Steps:
Scenario1:nbdinfo
1.1 IPv6 numeric URIs are supported.
# nbdinfo 'nbd://[2620:52:0:4254:2d8:61ff:fe3d:da54]:10809'
protocol: newstyle-fixed without TLS
export="":
	export-size: 10737418240 (10G)
	content: data
	uri: nbd://[2620:52:0:4254:2d8:61ff:fe3d:da54]:10809/
	contexts:
		base:allocation
	is_rotational: false
	is_read_only: false
	can_cache: true
	can_df: true
	can_fast_zero: true
	can_flush: true
	can_fua: true
	can_multi_conn: true
	can_trim: true
	can_zero: true

1.2 <nbdinfo(1)> <--list> (which lists all exports of a server) no longer exists early if one of the exports is inaccessible or there is a recoverable error
# nbdkit -U - file dir=/tmp/test --run 'nbdinfo --list "$uri"'
protocol: newstyle-fixed without TLS
export="1":
	export-size: 0
	uri: nbd+unix:///1?socket=/tmp/nbdkitNujo64/socket
	contexts:
		base:allocation
	is_rotational: false
	is_read_only: false
	can_cache: true
	can_df: true
	can_fast_zero: false
	can_flush: true
	can_fua: true
	can_multi_conn: true
	can_trim: true
	can_zero: true
export="好":
	export-size: 0
	uri: nbd+unix:///%E5%A5%BD?socket=/tmp/nbdkitNujo64/socket
	contexts:
		base:allocation
	is_rotational: false
	is_read_only: false
	can_cache: true
	can_df: true
	can_fast_zero: false
	can_flush: true
	can_fua: true
	can_multi_conn: true
	can_trim: true
	can_zero: true

1.3 Use nbdinfo to display information and metadata about an NBD server.
# nbdinfo nbd://localhost
protocol: newstyle-fixed without TLS
export="":
	export-size: 10737418240 (10G)
	content: data
	uri: nbd://localhost:10809/
	contexts:
		base:allocation
	is_rotational: false
	is_read_only: false
	can_cache: true
	can_df: true
	can_fast_zero: true
	can_flush: true
	can_fua: true
	can_multi_conn: true
	can_trim: true
	can_zero: true

# nbdinfo --json nbd://localhost | jq
{
  "protocol": "newstyle-fixed",
  "TLS": false,
  "exports": [
    {
      "export-name": "",
      "content": "data",
      "uri": "nbd://localhost:10809/",
      "contexts": [
        "base:allocation"
      ],
      "is_rotational": false,
      "is_read_only": false,
      "can_cache": true,
      "can_df": true,
      "can_fast_zero": true,
      "can_flush": true,
      "can_fua": true,
      "can_multi_conn": true,
      "can_trim": true,
      "can_zero": true,
      "export-size": 10737418240,
      "export-size-str": "10G"
    }
  ]
}


Scenario2: nbdcopy
2.1 nbdcopy new <--request-size> option to allow controlling the size of requests made to NBD servers.  Adjusting this can affect performance

# nbdcopy --request-size=1048576 -p fedora-30.qcow2 nbd://localhost
█ 100% [****************************************]
# nbdinfo nbd://localhost
protocol: newstyle-fixed without TLS
export="":
	export-size: 10737418240 (10G)
	content: QEMU QCOW2 Image (v3), 6442450944 bytes
	uri: nbd://localhost:10809/
	contexts:
		base:allocation
	is_rotational: false
	is_read_only: false
	can_cache: true
	can_df: true
	can_fast_zero: true
	can_flush: true
	can_fua: true
	can_multi_conn: true
	can_trim: true
	can_zero: true

2.2 nbdcopy new I<-v> flag to enable libnbd and other debugging.
# nbdcopy -p nbd://localhost test.img -v |& tee >  nbdcopy.log
█ 100% [****************************************]
# grep test nbdcopy.log 
nbdcopy: dst: file_ops "test.img"

2.3  Copy between a local file and an NBD server (in both directions)

# nbdcopy --request-size=1048576 -p fedora-30.qcow2 nbd://localhost:10810
█ 100% [****************************************]
# nbdcopy nbd://localhost:10810 verify.img -p
█ 100% [****************************************]
# ls -al |grep verify
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root 10737418240 Jan 27 05:53 verify.img

2.4 Use nbdcopy to copy the file between multiple NBD servers


# nbdinfo nbd://localhost:10811
protocol: newstyle-fixed without TLS
export="":
	export-size: 10737418240 (10G)
	content: data
	uri: nbd://localhost:10811/
	contexts:
		base:allocation
	is_rotational: false
	is_read_only: false
	can_cache: true
	can_df: true
	can_fast_zero: true
	can_flush: true
	can_fua: true
	can_multi_conn: true
	can_trim: true
	can_zero: true
# nbdinfo nbd://localhost:10810
protocol: newstyle-fixed without TLS
export="":
	export-size: 10737418240 (10G)
	content: QEMU QCOW2 Image (v3), 6442450944 bytes
	uri: nbd://localhost:10810/
	contexts:
		base:allocation
	is_rotational: false
	is_read_only: false
	can_cache: true
	can_df: true
	can_fast_zero: true
	can_flush: true
	can_fua: true
	can_multi_conn: true
	can_trim: true
	can_zero: true

# nbdcopy -p nbd://localhost:10810 nbd://localhost:10811
█ 100% [****************************************]
# nbdinfo nbd://localhost:10811
protocol: newstyle-fixed without TLS
export="":
	export-size: 10737418240 (10G)
	content: QEMU QCOW2 Image (v3), 6442450944 bytes
	uri: nbd://localhost:10811/
	contexts:
		base:allocation
	is_rotational: false
	is_read_only: false
	can_cache: true
	can_df: true
	can_fast_zero: true
	can_flush: true
	can_fua: true
	can_multi_conn: true
	can_trim: true
	can_zero: true


2.5 nbdfuse now supports nbdcopy-style C<[ CMD ]>, eg: nbdfuse dir/ramdisk [ nbdkit memory 1G ]

# nbdfuse /dir/ramdsk [ nbdkit memory 1G ] &
[1] 120666
# ls -lh /dir
total 0
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 1.0G Jan 27 06:02 ramdsk


Scenario3: nbdfuse

3.1 nbdfuse new I<-v> flag to enable libnbd and other debugging

# nbdfuse nbdfuse-v/ramdisk --command nbdkit -s memory 2G -v |& tee > /nbdfuse-v.log
# ls -lh /dir
total 0
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 1.0G Jan 27 06:02 ramdsk

3.2 Turn a qcow2 file into raw file
# nbdfuse /var/tmp/mp/fedora-30.raw [ qemu-nbd -f qcow2 fedora-30.qcow2 ] &
[1] 120803
# ll /var/tmp/mp
total 0
-rw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 6442450944 Jan 27 06:06 fedora-30.raw



Scenario4:nbdsh
4.1 Use nbdsh to test simple nbd API calls
# nbdsh

Welcome to nbdsh, the shell for interacting with
Network Block Device (NBD) servers.

The ‘nbd’ module has already been imported and there
is an open NBD handle called ‘h’.

h.connect_tcp("remote", "10809")   # Connect to a remote server.
h.get_size()                       # Get size of the remote disk.
buf = h.pread(512, 0, 0)           # Read the first sector.
exit() or Ctrl-D                   # Quit the shell
help(nbd)                          # Display documentation

nbd> help(nbd)

nbd> h.connect_command (["nbdkit", "-s", "memory", "size=2G"])
nbd> h.get_size()

nbd> buf = b"hello"
nbd> h.pwrite (buf, 0, 0)
nbd> buf2 = h.pread (100, 0)
nbd> print (buf2)
