OPTIONS-h Help.
Print the usage information.
-k Kill.
Kill the gnbd_serv daemon. This command will not kill the dae‐
mon 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 connec‐
tions before shutting down the primary gnbd_serv process. How‐
ever, if these processes are in uninterruptible sleep, the pri‐
mary 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 con‐
nections 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.
