  • When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device
    is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote
    device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling
    the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices.

    Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE
    devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until
    the I/O attempt times out.

  • This patch adds a known default location for the udev configuration file and
    uses the more recent "==" syntax for SUBSYSTEM and KERNEL.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
