The NBD stuff was probably an attempt to allow for pulling from SCSI/SAN style connectors?
Not very useful, i suppose, if the OS itself has no means to “access” things, but I think the intent was more toward making also a block level access over a piped filesystem share for fog-too
So we might remove NBD support along with other stuff added back then:
For some reason we added NBD (network block device) support many years ago: https://github.com/FOGProject/fos/commit/b56b8d9f6356f6e702e6ff580b2c4500f27ac41f#diff-15f9b0e5270fc1caac75f8b936c3df11534ceeb08de376b7a72b38c75ff2ad1aL1122
As discussed in the fourms I don't think we actually need it in the FOS kernels.
