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.
