If there are bugs with the vanilla linux driver, we haven't stumbled into any. That driver is old but stable. I think you have to install a newer driver to get support for jumbo frames or multipath however--those are among several performance enhancements Coraid has added to the driver. Multipath was important to us for reliability, so the loss of a single switch would not impact the storage device. It also helps for maximum throughput if you are stuck on gigabit Ethernet. (AoE multipath really demonstrates the advantages of a simple protocol--there's nothing involved in making it work other than plugging in additional interfaces.) -Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
