From a2c97909f97ef32b76e856572fba4f77e1885fe6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2017 17:02:07 -0400 Subject: nbd: add a flag to destroy an nbd device on disconnect For ease of management it would be nice for users to specify that the device node for a nbd device is destroyed once it is disconnected and there are no more users. Add a client flag and enable this operation to happen.
