Subject: [9fans] plan 9 vblade - software AoE target
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 9dcbb8d0-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

i've put vblade, a software AoE target, on sources
in /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/src/vblade.  this is a 
personal project.

vblade serves a file over AoE.  that is, the file
appears on the network as a block device.

i've currently got a small filesystem on my linux 
machine mounted on an aoe target hosted
by vblade on my cpu server:

	# df | grep etherd
	/dev/etherd/e1.0        102392     61532     40860  61% /mnt/1.0

vblade isn't intended to be fast or fancy.  it has
no buffer cache.  it implements no raid types.

i look forward to comments & bug reports.
