on the opposite end of the spectrum from the coraid fs,
i put together a little fileserver using a soekris 4501 and
aoe storage using vblade running on my cpu server. the
soekris box is a 133Mhz geode with 64mb memory and
100mbit 83815s. it looks like the top picture here
http://www.soekris.com/bundles.htm
without the usb or t1. i'm only using one interface at the moment
as performance is limited by vblade at a couple of mb/s. but
it's only 30% slower than my pIII running with scsi/ata disks
and gbe from disk. from cache it looses by ~ 5:1.
the configuration for this machine is in
/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/myfs/aska/
