The nbd devices are set up loop devices, we first have dead device nodes, then later we attach stuff behind them. At the time of the udev creation event, nothing works at nbd devices. Userspace has no idea when to probe for the device, or when stuff changes, it needs proper kernel support for that to work, which is as far as I know not existing. It is currently blacklisted for that reason, and removing the blacklist could only happen if the nbd kernel side is changed to send out events like loop, dm, md are doing it.

It should be possible though, to fix that in the kernel. It should be just a couple of lines, with uevent sending hooks at the right place. People familiar with nbd should be able to do that pretty quickly. |
