Windows 10 version? #113

Closed IBIT-ZEE closed 4 years ago

IBIT-ZEE commented 4 years ago

Where can I get a windows version? I need a Windows version to connect to Linux NBD Client (or to a server Server)... ?anybody knows where to get a Windows port of NBD?

For the server side, the server shipped in this repository compiles and works under cygwin, which should be sufficient for most purposes.

For the client side, there is https://github.com/cloudbase/wnbd -- although that project is still fairly new, so it might be a bit rough around the edges perhaps.

Not really an issue in NBD, so closing.

Hello yoe, do you know if it should also work to use cygwin with nbd-server to share a physical drive? I've tried to compile NBD on cygwin, and everything is fine, I can also share files fia nbd-server on Windows, but if I am referencing a physcial drive (SD Card) I get an I/O Error on the Linux Client side, if I try to read the nbd device.

Thanks!

Possibly, if you know how to access the raw device.

Please try compiling nbd-server with the "--enable-debug" option to the configure script, and reproduce the problem that way. What is the output?
