rbd-nbd is a client for RADOS block device (rbd) images like rbd kernel module. It will map a rbd image to a nbd (Network Block Device) device, allowing access it as regular local block device.

-c ceph.conf

Use ceph.conf configuration file instead of the default /etc/ceph/ceph.conf to determine monitor addresses during startup.

--read-only

Map read-only.

--nbds_max *limit*

Override the parameter nbds_max of NBD kernel module when modprobe, used to limit the count of nbd device.

--max_part *limit*

Override for module param max_part.

--exclusive

Forbid writes by other clients.

--notrim

Turn off trim/discard.

--encryption-format

Image encryption format. Possible values: luks, luks1, luks2

--encryption-passphrase-file

Path of file containing a passphrase for unlocking image encryption.

--io-timeout *seconds*

Override device timeout. Linux kernel will default to a 30 second request timeout. Allow the user to optionally specify an alternate timeout.

--reattach-timeout *seconds*

Specify timeout for the kernel to wait for a new rbd-nbd process is attached after the old process is detached. The default is 30 second.

--snap-id *snapid*

Specify a snapshot to map/unmap/attach/detach by ID instead of by name.

image-spec is [pool-name]/image-name
snap-spec  is [pool-name]/image-name@snap-name

The default for pool-name is "rbd".  If an image name contains a slash character ('/'), pool-name is required.

rbd-nbd is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer to the Ceph documentation at https://docs.ceph.com/ for more information.
