[Aoetools-discuss] beta release: aoe6-49pre2 for aoetools

[Ed L. C. <ec...@co...>]

There is a new beta version of the aoe driver for 2.6 Linux kernels.
Its implementation has changed significantly since aoe6-48.

The new driver interacts with the kernel's I/O request queue, allowing
the user to choose from the different I/O schedulers that Linux
offers.

Larger payloads are supported as well.  It is now possible to use AoE
packets that contain greater than 4 KiB of data.

Data receiving has been changed so that more of the work can be done
by the network device when possible.

The new driver is not yet public.  You can access it at the URL below.
Please let us know how the driver works for you by contacting us at
su...@co... or by posting to this mailing list.
