How To Fix nbd-trdump: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu nbd-trdump is provided by nbd-server package.

nbd-server is:

Network Block Device (NBD) is a client/server protocol that emulates a block device (such as a hard disk, a floppy, or a CD-ROM) over the network, thus giving the system the ability to swap over the network, or to use raw network disk space for other purposes.

However, writing to one Network Block Device from different clients simultaneously is not recommended, and would probably result in data loss. If you want multiple clients to share a remote resource, use a network file system such as NFS or Coda.

This package provides the server binary for NBD.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install nbd-server

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install nbd-server.

sudo apt -y install nbd-server

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install nbd-server
