What: /sys/bus/rbd/
Date: November 2010
Contact: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@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
What: /sys/bus/rbd/add_single_major
Date: December 2013
KernelVersion: 3.14
Contact: Sage Weil <sage@inktank.com>
Description: Available only if rbd module is inserted with single_major
parameter set to true.
Usage is the same as for /sys/bus/rbd/add. If present,
should be used instead of the latter: any attempts to use
/sys/bus/rbd/add if /sys/bus/rbd/add_single_major is
available will fail for backwards compatibility reasons.
What: /sys/bus/rbd/remove_single_major
Date: December 2013

Contact: Sage Weil <sage@inktank.com>
Description: Available only if rbd module is inserted with single_major
parameter set to true.
Usage is the same as for /sys/bus/rbd/remove. If present,
should be used instead of the latter: any attempts to use
/sys/bus/rbd/remove if /sys/bus/rbd/remove_single_major is
available will fail for backwards compatibility reasons.
