"iSCSI killer" Native in Linux

jar writes "First came Fibre Channel, then iSCSI. Now, for the increasingly popular idea of using a network to connect storage to servers, there's a third option called ATA over Ethernet (AoE). Upstart Linux developer and kernel contributor Coraid could use AoE shake up networked storage with a significantly less expensive way to do storage -- under $1 per Gigabyte. Linux Journal also has a full description of how AoE works." Note that the LJ article is from last year; the news story is more recent.

Ultimate Proof

[eno2001]

This thread in the iSCSI Killer story is ultimate proof that teenagers in their parent's basements all around the world have taken over Slashdot. In the days of yore, there would have been a lot of loud rejoicing at ATA over Ethernet. Today, nothing but a bunch of lame jokes based on gaming by high school drop outs. Yes, the days of Slashdot have come and gone. There is no hope.
