Hi all,

I've just recently heard about this aoe technology and i'm very
interested. Seems to me that it's be possible to make a very large disk
server on the cheap using this. By using vblade and aoetools and a
recent 2.6 kernel you could turn a few linux boxes into one large disk
server without forking out a huge amount of cash.

My question is whether anyone has any experience using such technology
and how reliable it is. It seems very straightforward to set up.

John
