Hi.

This is a maintenance distributed storage release, which includes a
rebase against the 2.6.28 kernel tree only.

DST is a network block device storage, which can be used to organize
exported storages on the remote nodes into the local block device.

Its main goal of the project is to allow creation of the block devices
on top of different network media and connect physically distributed devices
into single storage using existing network infrastructure and not
introducing new limitations into the protocol and network usage model.

So it is basically nbd on steroids?

...reminds me, nbd-server should really fsync data before returning success...
