ENBD appears to be able to export a file at the server end.  I can't find any 
information as to whether GNBD does: the docs don't provide an example but it 
still might work...

Even if the NBD server you choose doesn't support exporting files directly, 
it'll still be an improvement over NFS.

Cheers,
Mark
