 ===Introduction to ATA over Ethernet (AoE)===
 You will almost certainly never see ATA over Ethernet used in production. It was used in a few SAN products but eventually lost out to iSCSI and Fibre Channel. I'm covering it anyway, and first mainly because it's a good teaching tool. It's easy to get started, and easy to show off different concepts that will become relevant with the more popular technologies. It's also a really handy tool to have in your toolbox for moving data.
-Right now, it has a bug that can cause systems on the network not to shut down or reboot if there's an AoE server on the network, so it shouldn't be used in production. (I need to dig into this.) You can avoid the problem by disconnecting all AoE devices and unloading the aoe module before shutting down the host:
-  rmmod aoe
-If my testing is right, the only things necessary for a host to crash on shutdown are (1) there is an ATA-over-Ethernet device in a broadcast domain your host is part of, and (2) the aoe module is loaded.
 For full support (initiator and target) you just need two packages:
