"clt_hostname-srv_hostname" could be a natural choice. + + path: + describes a connection between the client and the server by + specifying destination and, when required, the source address. + The addresses are to be provided in the following format:: + + ip:<IPv6> + ip:<IPv4> + gid:<GID> + + for example:: + + path=ip:10.0.0.66 + + The single addr is treated as the destination. + The connection will be established to this server from any client IP address. + + :: + + path=ip:10.0.0.66,ip:10.0.1.66 + + First addr is the source address and the second is the destination. + + If multiple "path=" options are specified multiple connection + will be established and data will be sent according to + the selected multipath policy (see RTRS mp_policy sysfs entry description). + + device_path: + Path to the block device on the server side. Path is specified + relative to the directory on server side configured in the + 'dev_search_path' module parameter of the rnbd_server. + The rnbd_server prepends the <device_path> received from client + with <dev_search_path> and tries to open the + <dev_search_path>/<device_path> block device. On success, + a /dev/rnbd<N> device file, a /sys/block/rnbd_client/rnbd<N>/ + directory and an entry in /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices + will be created. + + If 'dev_search_path' contains '%SESSNAME%', then each session can + have different devices namespace, e.g. server was configured with + the following parameter "dev_search_path=/run/rnbd-devs/%SESSNAME%", + client has this string "sessname=blya device_path=sda", then server + will try to open: /run/rnbd-devs/blya/sda. + + access_mode: + the access_mode parameter specifies if the device is to be + mapped as "ro" read-only or "rw" read-write. The server allows + a device to be exported in rw mode only once. The "migration" + access mode has to be specified if a second mapping in read-write + mode is desired. + + By default "rw" is used. + + Exit Codes: + + If the device is already mapped it will fail with EEXIST. If the input + has an invalid format it will return EINVAL. If the device path cannot + be found on the server, it will fail with ENOENT. + + Finding device file after mapping + --------------------------------- + + After mapping, the device file can be found by: + o The symlink /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id> + points to /sys/block/<dev-name>.
