Block devices exposed by the 'nbd' module. The nbd module allows block
devices to be exported and imported over the network, similar to iSCSI or
SATAoE, but is non-standard (AFAIK) and currently only useful is
homogeneous Linux environments (since other OSes don't have support for
it).
It's a bit odd that you have those device nodes. udev shouldn't create
them until they are imported. Delete them, then run 'udevtrigger &&
udevsettle' (as root) and see if they are recreated.
Yes they are recreated. I'm not aware of anything on this system that
would use such a feature unless a USB thumb drive qualifies.
