+	exported storages on the remote nodes into the local block device.
+
+	DST is a network block device storage, which can be used to organize
+	exported storages on the remote nodes into the local block device.
+
+	DST works on top of any network media and protocol, it is just a matter
+	of configuration utility to understand the correct addresses. The most
+	common example is TCP over IP allows to pass through firewalls and
+	created remote backup storage in the different datacenter. DST requires
+	single port to be enabled on the exporting node and outgoing connections
+	on the local node.
+
+	DST works with in-kernel client and server, which improves the performance
+	eliminating unneded data copies and allows not to depend on the version
+	of the external IO components. It requires userspace configuration utility
+	though.
+
+	DST uses transaction model, when each store has to be explicitly acked
+	from the remote node to be considered as successfully written. There
+	may be lots of in-flight transactions. When remote host does not ack
+	the transaction it will be resent predefined number of times with specified
+	timeouts between them. All those parameters are configurable. Transactions
+	are marked as failed after all resends completed unsuccessfully, having
+	long enough resend timeout and/or large number of resends allows not to
+	return error to the higher (FS usually) layer in case of short network
+	problems or remote node outages. In case of network RAID setup this means
+	that storage will not degrade until transactions are marked as failed, and
+	thus will not force checksum recalculation and data rebuild. In case of
+	connection failure DST will try to reconnect to the remote node automatically.
+	DST sends ping commands at idle time to detect if remote node is alive.
+
+	Because of transactional model it is possible to use zero-copy sending
+	without worry of data corruption (which in turn could be detected by the
+	strong checksums though).
+
+	DST may fully encrypt the data channel in case of untrusted channel and implement
+	strong checksum of the transferred data. It is possible to configure algorithms
+	and crypto keys, they should match on both sides of the network channel.
+	Crypto processing does not introduce noticeble performance overhead, since DST
+	uses configurable pool of threads to perform crypto processing.
+
+	DST utilizes memory pool model of all its transaction allocations (it is the
+	only additional allocation on the client) and server allocations (bio pools,
+	while pages are allocated from the slab).
+
+	At startup DST performs a simple negotiation with the export node to determine
+	access permissions and size of the exported storage. It can be extended if
+	new parameters should be autonegotiated.
+
+	DST carries block IO flags in the protocol, which allows to transparently implement
+	barriers and sync/flush operations. Those flags are used in the export node where
+	IO against the local storage is performed, which means that sync write will be sync
+	on the remote node too, which in turn improves data integrity and improved resistance
+	to errors and data corruption during power outages or storage damages.

+	---help---
+	This option will turn HEAVY debugging of the DST.
+	Turn it on ONLY if you have to debug some really obscure problem.
