| Description: | |
| Being used for adding and removing rbd block devices. | |
| Usage: <mon ip addr> <options> <pool name> <rbd image name> [snap name] | |
| $ echo "192.168.0.1 name=admin rbd foo" > /sys/bus/rbd/add | |
| The snapshot name can be "-" or omitted to map the image read/write. A <dev-id> | |
| will be assigned for any registered block device. If snapshot is used, it will | |
| be mapped read-only. | |
| Removal of a device: | |
| $ echo <dev-id> > /sys/bus/rbd/remove | |
| Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/ | |
