Hello, Linux-il gurus, I have to decide between two options of exporting block devices on a LAN (same subnet for clients and server) : one is with iSCSI target and iSCSI initiator. The second is with AOE.
I am talking about using software tools only, not using special hardware. I had tested AOE with my hardware (no special hw): I had downloaded aoetools from http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoetools/. I had also installed blade server of this project on the server side. (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=130453&package_id=143790). I can mount on the client a file which I am exporting on the AOE server. (which is running this blade). My question is this: What are the advantages and disadvantages of using AOE versus iSCSI? Does anybody have any experience/advice regarding using AOE on Linux (sw only, I am not talkin about CORAID, etc) ?
