SubjectRe: [PATCH 2.6.15-git9a] aoe [1/1]: do not stop retransmit timer when device goes down
Hello!

>Why is the userland vblade server slower than the userland nbd-server?

maybe it yet is`t optimized for speed !?
nbd probably is more mature, too.

as of writing this, maybe the userspace vblade is meant for demonstration/testing/learning purpose. you wouldn`t buy a etherblade from coraid just for testing AoE - would you?

but, anyway - there is a second vblade implementation (independent from coraid) at http://lpk.com.price.ru/~lelik/AoE/

this one is done as a LKM and should be faster.
give it a try !

regards
roland

ps:
i did successfully boot a linux system with AoE-root (just like NFS-root) today !

Why is the userland vblade server slower than the userland nbd-server?

Thanks!
