NBD Server config directory with multiple files

  • 772

I'm having trouble getting multiple configs to work on my NBD server.

Scenario 1

This works fine...

/etc/nbd-server/config :

[generic]
  user = nbd 
  group = nbd 
[export]
  exportfile = /path/to/export/file

Scenario 2

But, I need this to work...

/etc/nbd-server/config :

[generic]
  user = nbd 
  group = nbd 
  includedir = /etc/nbd-server/conf.d

So, I should be able to put files in /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/, with...

/etc/nbd-server/conf.d/somefile :

[export]
  exportfile = /path/to/export/file

But, it doesn't.

It only works with everything in the original config (Scenario 1). How can I make Scenario 2 work?

    According to the documentation:

    includedir

    Optional; string

    The argument should be a directory containing files with the '.conf' extension; these files will be parsed as if they were part of the configuration file. Note that these extra configuration files cannot contain a [generic] section; any configuration that should go in the generic section must be placed in the main configuration file.

    That means instead of:

    /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/somefile

    You need:

    /etc/nbd-server/conf.d/somefile.conf
