NBD (Network Block Device) is a protocol for accessing Block Devices (hard disks and disk-like things) over a Network. nbdkit is a toolkit for creating NBD servers. The key features are: * Multithreaded NBD server written in C with good performance. * Minimal dependencies for the basic server. * Liberal license (BSD) allows nbdkit to be linked to proprietary libraries or included in proprietary code. * Well-documented, simple plugin API with a stable ABI guarantee. Lets you export “unconventional” block devices easily. * You can write plugins in C, Lua, Perl, Python, OCaml, Ruby, Rust, shell script or Tcl. * Filters can be stacked in front of plugins to transform the output.
This package contains some basic filters for nbdkit which have only trivial dependencies. * nbdkit-blocksize-filter Adjust block size of requests sent to plugins. * nbdkit-cache-filter Server-side cache. * nbdkig-cow-filter Copy-on-write overlay for read-only plugins. * nbdkit-delay-filter Inject read and write delays. * nbdkit-error-filter Inject errors. * nbdkit-fua-filter Modify flush behaviour in plugins. * nbdkit-log-filter Log all transactions to a file. * nbdkit-nozero-filter Adjust handling of zero requests by plugins. * nbdkit-offset-filter Serve an offset and range. * nbdkit-partition-filter Serve a single partition. * nbdkit-truncate-filter Truncate, expand, round up or round down a plugin size.
This package contains some basic plugins for nbdkit which have only trivial dependencies. * nbdkit-data-plugin Serve small files directly from the command line. * nbdkit-file-plugin A file serving plugin. * nbdkit-memory-plugin A virtual memory plugin. * nbdkit-nbd-plugin An NBD forwarding plugin. It provides an NBD server that forwards all traffic as a client to another existing NBD server. A primary usage of this setup is to alter the set of features available to the ultimate end client, without having to change the original server (for example, to convert between oldstyle and newtyle, or to add TLS support where the original server lacks it). * nbdkit-null-plugin A null (bitbucket) plugin. * nbdkit-pattern-plugin Fixed test pattern. * nbdkit-random-plugin Random content plugin for testing. * nbdkit-split-plugin Concatenate one or more files into a single virtual disk. * nbdkit-streaming-plugin A streaming file serving plugin. * nbdkit-zero-plugin Zero-length plugin for testing.
