5Description:
6
7Being used for adding and removing rbd block devices.
8
9Usage: <mon ip addr> <options> <pool name> <rbd image name> [snap name]
10
11 $ echo "192.168.0.1 name=admin rbd foo" > /sys/bus/rbd/add
12
13The snapshot name can be "-" or omitted to map the image read/write. A <dev-id>
14will be assigned for any registered block device. If snapshot is used, it will
15be mapped read-only.
16
17Removal of a device:
18
19  $ echo <dev-id> > /sys/bus/rbd/remove

25Description:	Available only if rbd module is inserted with single_major
26		parameter set to true.
27		Usage is the same as for /sys/bus/rbd/add.  If present,
28		should be used instead of the latter: any attempts to use
29		/sys/bus/rbd/add if /sys/bus/rbd/add_single_major is
30		available will fail for backwards compatibility reasons.
