RE: [Xen-devel] AOE (Ata over ethernet) troubles on xen 2.0.6

["James Harper" <james.harper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For what it's worth, I'm using aoe presently without any problems, and
have been for quite a few months now. In my setup I have vblade running
on a server, with dom0's on two machines reading the same aoe device,
and exporting lvm partitions to the different domains as required. This
allows migration to work nicely.
