19 **rbd-ggate** is a client for RADOS block device (rbd) images. It will
20 map a rbd image to a ggate (FreeBSD GEOM Gate class) device, allowing
21 access it as regular local block device.
29 Spawn a process responsible for the creation of ggate device and
30 forwarding I/O requests between the GEOM Gate kernel subsystem and
36 Destroy ggate device and terminate the process responsible for it.
41 List mapped ggate devices.
46 .. option:: --device *ggate device*
48 Specify ggate device path.
50 .. option:: --read-only
54 .. option:: --exclusive
56 Forbid writes by other clients.
61 | *image-spec* is [*pool-name*]/*image-name*
62 | *snap-spec* is [*pool-name*]/*image-name*\ @\ *snap-name*
64 The default for *pool-name* is "rbd". If an image name contains a slash
65 character ('/'), *pool-name* is required.
70 **rbd-ggate** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source,
71 distributed storage system. Please refer to the Ceph documentation at
72 http://ceph.com/docs for more information.
