SYNOPSIS
Overview of manpages and their locations
DESCRIPTION
The GFS Network Block Device has two parts, the client (which includes
the gnbd.ko module and gnbd_import, gnbd_recvd, and gnbd_monitor pro‐
grams) and the server (which include the gnbd_serv, gnbd_clusterd, and
gnbd_export programs). The GNBD server allows a computer to export
multiple block devices or files (GNBDs). The GNBD client allows a com‐
puter to import these GNBDs, and use them as if they were local block
devices. The primary difference between GNBD and NBD (the network
block device distributed with the Linux kernel) is GNBD's ability to
have multiple clients all accessing the same served file or block
device at the same time.
The GNBD documentation has been split into a number of sections.
