I disagree. |

QEMU itself does not use NBD. Thus QEMU does not need to depend on |

qemu-nbd. QEMU uses files on mounted file systems. |

qemu-nbd is a — perhaps questionably named — utility that allows QEMU |
| 11 |
disk images / files to be accessed as if they were NBDs. Not the other |
| 12 |
way around. qemu-nbd does not allow QEMU to use NBDs. |

As I understand it, nothing about /QEMU/ is dependent on any NBD support. |
