[Aoetools-discuss] [ANNOUNCE] ggaoed 1.0

[Gabor G. <go...@sz...>]

Hi,

I've released ggaoed 1.0, my AoE target implementation for Linux. It is
available at:

	http://code.google.com/p/ggaoed

Highlights:

- Event-based model where a single process can serve a large number of
  devices and network interfaces
- Uses Linux AIO for I/O submission, eventfd for notification, and epoll
  for event processing
- Supports the memory mapped packet interface for receiving and sending data
  (sending needs kernel 2.6.31 or later), reducing the number of system
  calls needed for communication
- Request merging: read/write requests for adjacent data blocks can be
  submitted as a single I/O request
- Request batching: multiple I/O requests can be submitted using a
  single system call
- Fixes a few bugs that were present in 0.9

You need at least kernel 2.6.27 to run ggaoed.

Known bugs:

- The README says you need xsltproc to build the man pages but I have
  switched to docbook2x-man in the last minute. Oh well.

Gabor
