Have you tried to run (g)vinum on top of AOE drives? Yeah, on 4.10 I tested with a stripe and a raid 5. The performance of the stripe scaled linearly with the number of blades involved. I haven't tested on 5.3/6.0 because (g)vinum seems a bit shaky. It should work fine, though. The driver just provides disk devices. Sam
