http://aplawrence.com/Words2005/2005_05_29.html Free software for creating a virtual AoE blade: http://freshmeat.net/projects/vblade There are lots of AoE-related changes in the Linus' baseline 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 (2.6.12 is current at the time of this writing). Contributors include Coraid employee(s), Greg Kroah-Hartman of SuSE and Linus. Coraid announced (?) SATA support for AoE on May 5, 2005, but had been doing PATA for a while before that.
