@ -19,3 +19,19 @@ which allows a remote machine to serve requests for reads and writes to a
virtual block device on the local machine. BUSE sets up an NBD server and client
on the same machine, with the server executing the code defined by the BUSE
user.
Running the Example Code
BUSE comes with an example driver in busexmp.c that implements a 128 MB memory
disk. To try out the example code, run "make" and then execute the following as
root:
modprobe nbd
./busexmp -n /dev/nbd0
You should then have an in-memory disk running, represented by the device file
/dev/nbd0. You can create a file system on the virtual disk, mount it, and start
reading and writing files on it:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/nbd0
mount /dev/nbd0 /mnt
