ATA over Ethernet driver 56 (For Linux 2.6 branch) |
|
|
This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0).

Changes:
Dynamic minor numbers for devices expand the range of usable AoE addresses. The latest Linux kernels are now supported. A bug that manifested when AoE targets were not behaving correctly was fixed. Specific devices can now be forgotten on demand. A module parameter for GPFS users was added.
