nbdkit

NBD is a protocol for accessing block devices (hard disks and
disk-like things) over the network.
nbdkit is a toolkit for creating NBD servers.
The key features are:

Multithreaded NBD server written in C.

Minimal dependencies for the basic server.

Documented plugin API with a stable ABI guarantee.
Lets you to export "unconventional" block devices.

You can write plugins in C or many other languages.

Filters can be stacked in front of plugins to transform the output.


'nbdkit' is a meta-package which pulls in the core server and a
subset of plugins and filters with minimal dependencies.
If you want just the server, install 'nbdkit-server'.
To develop plugins, install the 'nbdkit-devel' package and start by
reading the nbdkit(1) and nbdkit-plugin(3) manual pages.
