That remote block device can either be an actual block device or a file exported as a block device. It's pretty cool. I messed with it for a long time and never got the least bit of functionality out of it ::-) Yes, I've heard that RAID does work over it, but I'm not sure. There are people that have setups like this working. There is/was a nbd mailing list that covered the details.
