+
+   Instructions for use
+   --------------------
+
+   1) Map a Linux block device to an existing OSD object.
+
+      In this example, we will use partition id 1234, object id 5678,
+      OSD device /dev/osd1.
+
+      $ echo "1234 5678 /dev/osd1" > /sys/class/osdblk/add
+
+
+   2) List all active blkdev<->object mappings.
+
+      In this example, we have performed step #1 twice, creating two blkdevs,
+      mapped to two separate OSD objects.
+
+      $ cat /sys/class/osdblk/list
+      0 174 1234 5678 /dev/osd1
+      1 179 1994 897123 /dev/osd0
+
+      The columns, in order, are:
+      - blkdev unique id
+      - blkdev assigned major
+      - OSD object partition id
+      - OSD object id
+      - OSD device
+
+
+   3) Remove an active blkdev<->object mapping.
+
+      In this example, we remove the mapping with blkdev unique id 1.
+
+      $ echo 1 > /sys/class/osdblk/remove
+
+
+   NOTE:  The actual creation and deletion of OSD objects is outside the scope
+   of this driver.
