The aoetools are programs that assist in using ATA over Ethernet. These 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: * aoecfg - manipulate AoE configuration strings * aoe-discover - trigger discovery of ATA over Ethernet devices * aoe-flush - flush the down devices out of the aoe driver * 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 * aoeping - simple userland communication with AoE devices * aoe-revalidate - revalidate the disk size of an AoE device * aoe-stat - print status information for AoE devices * aoe-version - print AoE-related software version information * coraid-update - upload an update file to a Coraid appliance
