Component Type: kbuild config

Description: Network block device support

More info: Saying Y here will allow your computer to be a client for network block devices, i.e. it will be able to use block devices exported by servers (mount file systems on them etc.). Communication between client and server works over TCP/IP networking, but to the client program this is hidden: it looks like a regular local file access to a block device special file such as /dev/nd0. Network block devices also allows you to run a block-device in userland (making server and client physically the same computer, communicating using the loopback network device). Read <file:Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/nbd.rst> for more information, especially about where to find the server code, which runs in user space and does not need special kernel support. Note that this has nothing to do with the network file systems NFS or Coda; you can say N here even if you intend to use NFS or Coda. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called nbd. If unsure, say N.
