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 servs 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.
