librbd stacks on top of librados to provide access
to rbd images.
Using librbd simplifies the qemu code, and allows
qemu to use new versions of the rbd format
with few (if any) changes.

RBD is an block driver for the distributed file system Ceph
(http://ceph.newdream.net/). This driver uses librados (which is part
of the Ceph server) for direct access to the Ceph object store and is
running entirely in userspace (Yehuda also wrote a driver for the
linux kernel, that can be used to access rbd volumes as a block
device).
