This project has a goal of allowing the sharing of physical devices like character and block devices between linux machines over TCP/IP.
The code is not yet stable. Test at your own peril. This WILL cause kernel panics.
Both kernel module and the daemon program can be compiled with make.
Daemon can be started with or without arguments.
Usage: ./netdevd [-f CONFIGFILE] [-p LISTENPORT] [-h]
Format of configuration file:
RemoteDevicePath;DummyDeviceName;DaemonIP;DaemonPort
Example:
/dev/urandom;netdev_urandom;192.168.1.13;9999
Some static limitations apply. For example limit of devices is 32 and is defined in include/protocol.h with NETDEV_MAX_DEVICES and NETDEV_HTABLE_DEV_SIZE.
If you want to play with this software please do, and please report any crashes and bugs you might encounter to my github at https://github.com/PonderingGrower/netdev .
