 Last time I used it was in Antefacto, so that's over two years ago. I
think with 2.4.12 or something. It would fall over & crash the machine
every few hours.

 I thought it'd be a cool idea to have five machines export a few gigs of
storage out through NBD, then remount it back RAID5. Alas, it'd crash in
seconds when you did that.

 I did some more playing, but gave up on it as a "nice idea, needs a lot
of work".
