I have added this fix to nbd-2.2.29 and put it up on the ftp site
(ftp://oboe.it.uc3m.es/pub/Programs/ndb-2.2.29.tgz". I will announce
the release on monday if I find no problems over the weekend.

from the readme

    2.2.29 = 2.2.28 plus fix to sporadic busy read 0 on close in
    server. Fix to get wrong size on reiserfs partition in server
    from Wang Gang. Unified the driver with 2.4.15 AGAIN. Hence
    included Wang Gang's RAID mode that passes errors on instead
    of hiding them.  Added -p option for defining pulse interval
    to daemons, as patched by Wang Gang. Added fix for very large
    file write/tcp deadlock on asynchronously mounted filesystems.
