gnbd(8) - Linux man page

GNBD reference guide
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 programs) 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 computer 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. Please refer to the table below to determine which man page coincides with the
