I remember looking at ATA over Ethernet back in 2007 but back then it relied on vendor-provided drivers.... I read now that AoE has been merged into the Linux kernel starting w 2.6.11 or thereabouts..., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_over_Ethernet My questions are twofold: 1. Of all the drivers for AoE available, anyone here has succesfully used any with Fedora? 2. Hardware: If AOE was ever popular, it seems interest has decreased now, as for the life of me I cant seem to find ANY low cost, single drive SATA to AoE adapter on Amazon.com...
I don't think AoE really ever got any traction. iSCSI generally trumped its performance. I deployed a number of iSCSI things years ago using EMC storage arrays. <snip>
I guess what I'm looking for is a single drive SATA to AoE (Gigabit if possible) "enabler". Ideally it'd also have to cost less than a NAS with its own OS and CPU.... Is there anything out there?
There's really no need for AoE anymore IMHO. If you're in dire need of it, iSCSI is faster and your computers can be iSCSI targets or initiators. A NAS device or USB or ESATA external drive is generally cheaper and usually standalone to boot. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a - - rigged demo. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
