To create a local block device for a Vitastor image, use NBD. For example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vitastor-nbd map --etcd_address 10.115.0.10:2379/v3 --image testimg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will output the device name, like /dev/nbd0 which you can then format and mount as a normal block device.
|
|
|
|
You can also use `--pool <POOL> --inode <INODE> --size <SIZE>` instead of `--image <IMAGE>` if you want.
|
|
|
|
To unmap the device run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vitastor-nbd unmap /dev/nbd0
|
|
```
