I will try it, although i think that i'm using the deafult values.

Anyway: the NBD module should set the max_sectors to a certain value - i 
chose 256 sectors. Perhaps Pavel or Paul may decide to use a higher ot 
smaller value. A limit should be part of the protocol or handshaked when 
connecting to the server (what is not possible without changing the 
protocol)
