NAME
gnbd_serv - gnbd server daemon
SYNOPSIS
gnbd_serv [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
gnbd_serv manages gnbd devices exported by gnbd_export and connections
from gnbd_import. It serves up data from the local disks to the connected gnbd clients.
OPTIONS
- -h Help.
- Print the usage information.
- -k Kill.
Kill the gnbd_serv daemon. This command will not kill the daemon if any devices are currently being exported. The exported devices must first be removed.- -K Force Kill.
Kill the gnbd_serv daemon regardless of whether or not there are currently exported devices. This command will try to shut down all of the gnbd_serv processes for the currently active connections before shutting down the primary gnbd_serv process. However, if these processes are in uninterruptible sleep, the primary gnbd_serv process may shut down while a there is still an active gnbd connection.- -n No Cluster.
This command keeps gnbd_serv from trying to contact the cluster manager. NOTE: With this option, it is not possible to export uncached devices.- -p port
- Port.
- Specify the port for the gnbd server to listen for external connections on. By default, the server listens for requests on port 14567. If this port is changed, gnbd_import must also use the -p option.
- -q Quiet mode.
Only print out errors or questions.- -V Version information.
Print out version information.- -v Verbose output.
Print additional messages during the operation of gnbd_serv.

BUGS
- Occasionally, gnbd_serv -k will not clean up the gnbd_clusterd processes. Once gnbd_serv has stopped running, this process can simply be
killed.
