description:
  Blktap creates kernel block devices which realize I/O requests to
  processes implementing virtual hard disk images entirely in user
  space.

  Typical disk images may be implemented as files, in memory, or
  stored on other hosts across the network. The image drivers included
  with tapdisk can map disk I/O to sparse file images accessed through
  Linux DIO/AIO and VHD images with snapshot functionality.

  This packages includes the control utilities needed to create
  destroy and manipulate devices ('tap-ctl'), the 'tapdisk' driver
  program to perform tap devices I/O, and a number of image drivers.
