	.SH NAME
	gnbd \- GNBD reference guide

	.SH SYNOPSIS
	Overview of manpages and their locations

	.SH DESCRIPTION
	The GFS Network Block Device has two parts, the client (which includes the
	\fBgnbd.ko\fP module and \fBgnbd_import\fP, \fBgnbd_recvd\fP, and
	\fBgnbd_monitor\fP programs) and the server
	(which include the \fBgnbd_serv\fP, \fBgnbd_clusterd\fP, and \fBgnbd_export\fP
	programs). The GNBD server allows a computer
	to export multiple block devices or files (GNBDs). The GNBD client allows a
	computer to import these GNBDs, and use them as if they were local block
	devices. The primary difference between GNBD and NBD (the network block
	device distributed with the Linux kernel) is GNBD's ability to have multiple
	clients all accessing the same served file or block device at the same
	time.

	The GNBD documentation has been split into a number of sections. Please
	refer to the table below to determine which man page coincides with the
	command/feature you are looking for.
