See? There is no need to warn about wrong kernel version, use any network, etc. I did it. It just took some time for me to think it out, I thought I would have to use the device mapper when I discovered the -o option for losetup.
Sure, but that will only work when you haven't split the disks. losetup doesn't know about split disks I don't know why vmware chose to use nbd devices. My guess is that their magic needed to stream split and sparse disks together shouldn't go into a kernel module, and with the nbd it can all be done in user space. But that's just a guess. It was clearly done a long time ago My point was just that your talk of viruses and trojans was just so much twaddle.
