LNBD的设计与实现

The Design and Application of the LNBD

网络块设备的概念是把网络访问的远程资源虚拟成一个本地块设备。本文详细探讨了基于Linux的一种新的网络块设备LNBD(LanNetworkBlockDevice)的设计开发,它以系统模块方式实现,可以作为以Linux为操作系统实现NC的基础,同时也可以为本地Linux系统共享网络资源提供一种可选择的手段。

The Network Block Device driver offers an access model that simulates a local block device by accessing the resource of remote server. This paper discuss a newly designed network block device （Lan Network Block Device） in detail which is implemented in LKM（Loadable Kernel Module）. It can be used as a kind of infrastructure of NC（Network Computer）, or a way of sharing network resource as well.
