BlackHole Description

As BlackHole works on the block-level, it is filesystem agnostic. So you can create ext3, xfs, jfs, any filesystem you like on it. Tested with ext2, ext3, ntfs and reiserfs. NBD is short for 'network block device'. It is comparable to iSCSI and FCoE. For allmost all platforms NBD-servers are available. NBD-clients are in the Linux, HURD and Solaris kernel. To generate block-hashes, BlackHole can use MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256/384/512.
