Looks interesting, although that might make communications more fun
since whatever networking software used would require modification. What
I'm basically wanting to do is get enough throughput from the networking
that the bottleneck is the speed of the arrays. The whole idea is that I
can start with a few 100GB of space and work up from there with new
arrays/lvm groupings.
