Package: nbd-client
Version: 1:3.15.1-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
in debian-lan we use nbd for diskless clients to use swap space from a
server. Somehow on the way to stretch, the setup of nbd swap changed
and now I have problems getting it to work again.
I had some success so far on starting nbd-client from the command
line. However, I failed enabling the service with:
systemctl enable nbd-client
The command reports that the service is masked, and indeed, the
service file is a link to '/dev/null':
'/lib/systemd/system/nbd-client.service -> /dev/null'
Is this intended and if yes, how can I enable the service?
Thanks and best regards,
Andi

Yes. For the full story behind this, see #796633.

First, ensure an entry for your wanted export exists in /etc/nbdtab
(e.g., nbd0). See "man 5 nbdtab" if you need to know how to create it.
Then, do
systemctl enable nbd@nbd0
to enable the device. Repeat for every device you wish to enable at boot
time.
