+What: /sys/block/rnbd<N>/rnbd/unmap_device
+Date: Feb 2020
+KernelVersion: 5.7
+Contact: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@cloud.ionos.com> Danil Kipnis <danil.kipnis@cloud.ionos.com>
+Description: To unmap a volume, "normal" or "force" has to be written to:
+ /sys/block/rnbd<N>/rnbd/unmap_device
+
+ When "normal" is used, the operation will fail with EBUSY if any process
+ is using the device. When "force" is used, the device is also unmapped
+ when device is in use. All I/Os that are in progress will fail.
+
+ Example:
+
+ # echo "normal" > /sys/block/rnbd0/rnbd/unmap_device
+
+What: /sys/block/rnbd<N>/rnbd/state
+Date: Feb 2020
+KernelVersion: 5.7
+Contact: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@cloud.ionos.com> Danil Kipnis <danil.kipnis@cloud.ionos.com>
+Description: The file contains the current state of the block device. The state file
+ returns "open" when the device is successfully mapped from the server
+ and accepting I/O requests. When the connection to the server gets
+ disconnected in case of an error (e.g. link failure), the state file
+ returns "closed" and all I/O requests submitted to it will fail with -EIO.

+What: /sys/block/rnbd<N>/rnbd/session
+Date: Feb 2020
+KernelVersion: 5.7
+Contact: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@cloud.ionos.com> Danil Kipnis <danil.kipnis@cloud.ionos.com>
+Description: RNBD uses RTRS session to transport the data between client and
+ server. The entry "session" contains the name of the session, that
+ was used to establish the RTRS session. It's the same name that
+ was passed as server parameter to the map_device entry.

+Contact: Jack Wang <jinpu.wang@cloud.ionos.com> Danil Kipnis <danil.kipnis@cloud.ionos.com>
+Description: Contains the path that was passed as "device_path" to the map_device
+ operation.
