2018-01-12 19:16:07 Chris J Arges description [impact] 4.4.0-101+ (also 4.4.0-109) Ubuntu kernels no longer can use qemu-nbd to mount virtual disks onto a local filesystem (see test case for reproducer). I was able to bisect the issue down to 907196aba0d891c6d580abe69c36d3b4fd512dcc. Reverting this from 4.4 fixes the issue. In addition this is also reported in debian here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=829532 [test case] # given a vmdk disk with multiple partitions sudo modprobe nbd sudo qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0 sudo qemu-nbd -r -c /dev/nbd0 disk.vmdk ls /dev/nbd0* # here you won't see multiple partition, nor be able to mount a partition locally [impact] 4.4.0-101+ (also 4.4.0-109) Ubuntu kernels no longer can use qemu-nbd to mount virtual disks onto a local filesystem (see test case for reproducer).

Installing the mainline kernel shows mainline is _not_ affected by this bug.
