软件包: aoetools (23-0ubuntu5)

tools to assist in using ATA over Ethernet

The aoetools are programs that assist in using ATA over Ethernet. This tools are designed to work with the "aoe" driver for Linux 2.6 kernels; in fact, this version recommends kernel 2.6.14 or later, as both support up to 16 slots per shelf address.

Systems running Linux 2.4 kernels do not need and should not install the aoetools. The aoe driver for 2.4 kernels is self-sufficient.

There are several tools included in this package:

 * aoe-discover   - trigger discovery of ATA over Ethernet devices
 * aoe-interfaces - restrict network interfaces used for AoE
 * aoe-mkdevs     - create character and block device files
 * aoe-mkshelf    - create block device files for one shelf address
 * aoe-stat       - print status information for AoE devices
 * aoeping        - simple userland communication with AoE devices
 * aoe-revalidate - revalidate the disk size of an AoE device
 * aoe-version    - print AoE-related software version information
 * aoe-flush      . flush the down devices out of the aoe driver
 * aoecfg         . manipulate AoE configuration strings
