Network Block Device

A pure OCaml implementation of the Network Block Device protocol, which is a client/server protocol for accessing block devices.

This repository provides the following OPAM packages:

  • nbd : core protocol parsing library

  • nbd-lwt-unix : Lwt_unix implementation

  • nbd-tool: command line helper for serving and mirroring disks over NBD, and getting information about the disks exported by an NBD server

Each of these OPAM packages installs an ocamlfind library with the same name as the OPAM package.

Documentation

The API documentation is on github.
