Late reply, but the original thought almost surely was that we would only be exporting bitmaps for fleecing use, which should have a non-changing bitmap attached to it. Just some error checking to make sure the user didn't accidentally use the live copy attached to the active disk image, versus the one prepared for this purpose. If that's not true anymore, that's fine if the NBD server can handle the bits changing while it responds to requests... especially if a client wants to just watch the bitmap change live and query sectors every now and again, but it's a different use case from the one fairly targeted one we were pursuing at the time. --js
