6 Block devices exposed by the 'nbd' module. The nbd module allows block
7 devices to be exported and imported over the network, similar to iSCSI or
8 SATAoE, but is non-standard (AFAIK) and currently only useful is
9 homogeneous Linux environments (since other OSes don't have support for
10 it).

12 It's a bit odd that you have those device nodes. udev shouldn't create
13 them until they are imported. Delete them, then run 'udevtrigger &&
14 udevsettle' (as root) and see if they are recreated.
