+Date:		November 2010
+Contact:	Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@hq.newdream.net>,

+Description:
+
+Being used for adding and removing rbd block devices.
+
+Usage: <mon ip addr> <options> <pool name> <rbd image name> [snap name]
+
+ $ echo "192.168.0.1 name=admin rbd foo" > /sys/bus/rbd/add
+
+The snapshot name can be "-" or omitted to map the image read/write. A <dev-id>
+will be assigned for any registered block device. If snapshot is used, it will
+be mapped read-only.
+
+Removal of a device:
+
+  $ echo <dev-id> > /sys/bus/rbd/remove
+
+Entries under /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/
