- The aoetools are programs that assist in using ATA over Ethernet on
- systems with version 2.6 Linux kernels.
- Systems running 2.4 Linux kernels do not need and should not install
- the aoetools. The aoe driver for 2.4 kernels is self sufficient.

- AOE DRIVER COMPATIBILITY
- If you are using udev on your system, the aoe-mkdevs and aoe-mkshelf
- should not be used. Just let udev create device nodes for you. If
- you need to configure udev, its manpages, in conjunction with the
- example in the EtherDrive HOWTO FAQ, should help.
- If you are not using udev, it is important to ensure that the device
- nodes in /dev/etherd match the aoe driver. Please see devnodes.txt
- for information.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- If you need to configure the software, look at the variables at the
- top of the Makefile. The defaults should work for most people. When
- using the defaults there's only one step to configure and install the
- aoetools software and documentation:
- make install
- You'll need sufficient permissions to install in the default locations
- if you haven't overridden them with your own locations.
- Please see the aoetools manpage for a brief list of the tools.
- These two are legacy commands for systems without udev.
- aoe-mkdevs create character and block device files
- aoe-mkshelf create block device files for one shelf address
