I have used it only in local networks, but it works very well. It's much, much better than md + nbd, for example, because it was designed with the network in mind - so it deals gracefully with transient network errors and such. And the current version (8.x) is also more flexible than the previous versions. I'd recommed you give it a try. regards, iustin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
