-.TH "NBD-CLIENT" "8" "04 April 2004" "" ""
-.SH NAME
-nbd-client \- connect to a server running nbd-server(1), to use its exported block device
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-
-\fBnbd-client\fR [ \fBbs=\fIblocksize\fB\fR ] \fB\fIhost\fB\fR \fB\fIport\fB\fR \fB\fInbd-device\fB\fR [ \fB-swap\fR ]

-\fBnbd-client\fR \fB-d \fInbd-device\fB\fR

-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-This manual page documents briefly the
-\fBnbd-client\fR command.
-.PP
-This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
-because the original program does not have a manual page.
-.PP
-With \fBnbd-client\fR, you can connect to a
-server running \fBnbd-server\fR, thus using raw
-diskspace from that server as a blockdevice on the local
-client.
-.PP
-To do this, support from the Linux Kernel is necessary, in
-the form of the Network Block Device (NBD). When you have that,
-either in the kernel, or as a module, you can connect to an NBD
-server and use its exported file through a block special file with
-major mode 43.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
-.PP
-The following options are supported:
-.TP
-\fBbs=\fIblocksize\fB\fR
-Use a blocksize of "blocksize". Default is 1024;
-allowed values are either 512, 1024, 2048 or 4096
-.TP
-\fBhost\fR
-The hostname of the machine running
-\fBnbd-server\fR.
-.TP
-\fBport\fR
-The TCP port on which \fBnbd-server\fR is
-running at the server.
-.TP
-\fBnbd-device\fR
-The block special file this nbd-client should connect
-to.
-.TP
-\fB-swap\fR
-Specifies that this NBD device will be used as
-swapspace. If you intend to do that, please use this
-option to prevent deadlocks. You'll need a special kernel
-patch, available at NBD's homepage:
-http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel
-.SH "EXAMPLES"
-.PP
-Some examples of nbd-client usage:
-.TP 0.2i
-\(bu
-To connect to a server running on port 2000 at host
-"server.domain.com", using the client's block special file
-"/dev/nd0":
-
-\fBnbd-client 2000 server.domain.com
-/dev/nd0\fR
-.TP 0.2i
-\(bu
-To connect to a server running on port 2001 at host
-"swapserver.domain.com", using the client's block special
-file "/dev/nd1", for swap purposes:
-
-\fBnbd-client 2001 swapserver.domain.com /dev/nd1
--swap\fR
-.TP 0.2i
-\(bu
-To disconnect the above connection again (after making
-sure the block special file is not in use anymore):
-
-\fBnbd-client -d /dev/nd1\fR
