coraid is pleased to announce a plan 9 aoe initiator. the patch has been submitted as /n/sources/patch/aoe-initiator.
the initiator has been tested with linux vblade, plan 9 vblade, and coraid sr hardware. we hope you use it with coraid sr hardware. ☺ there are two parts, the initiator proper, which turns aoe into a block device and the sdaoe which binds aoe targets to sd devices. performance is respectable. with 8k jumbos and two gbe interfaces, i've seen >175MB/s on a four disk raid0. enjoy! - erik
