Re: [External] Re: [PATCH] VxFS Filesystem support to libguestfs
by Richard W.M. Jones
I think the last version was posted in November. I don't think it
made it to the mailing list, but I've attached a copy of the patch.
A concrete way to proceed here is to:
(1) Fork the project on github and add your patch to your fork.
(2) Make sure it is up to date with the current branch.
(3) Make sure it compiles and all the tests pass.
(4) Post a link to the github repo here and we can look at it.
Rich.

client-side LUKs + NBD over internet?
by netpleb
Hi Richard et. al,
I was attempting to ask this question via a comment on this post (https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2022/05/14/nbdkit-now-supports-luks-encryption/) on your wordpress site, but it was giving me some trouble, so I will ask it here:
I hope this is not too naive of a question, but is nbdkit (or even just nbd in general) a good fit for mounting and using a LUKs encrypted block device over the internet?
Specifically, the client would encrypt the block device using luks and thereby keep the luks secret key local like you did in your blog post.
I have done some rudimentary tests with nbd-client but have been unable to achieve speeds faster than approximately 1.4 MB/sec. However, doing the same thing on my local network gave me closer to 50 MB/sec. The latter seems usable, but the former seems not, and I would like to better understand if/how nbd can be used over the internet.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
