But i am really unable to figure out how kernel does that. 1. Lots of googling - focusing on key technical words like "nbd", otherwise u will get lots of related stuff....which is also good for general reading. 2. Start with high level (and proceed down to network level): http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-kernel/ http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-linux-networking-stack/ and next is the specific block devices via network: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/nbd.txt (which is very much userspace in fact, and not very helpful as it only effectively says "nbd works") and the one I found most useful: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3778 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8149 http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kripac/orac-nbd/ http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/02/nbd-tutorial-network-block-device-jumpstart-guide/ http://www.it.uc3m.es/~ptb/nbd/ (last one being an enhanced nbd internals....) So....as u can see....lots of resources from different places....no central resources...learn googling. But concurrent with that read a book in depth on Linux kernel internal will be useful. -- Regards, Peter Teoh -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
