Hi!
I wanted to know if it is possible/okay to swap over AOE...
According to
http://www.coraid.com/support/linux/EtherDrive-2.6-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.20
.. it runs OOM even during normal use, so I guess swapping over it is
no-no?
Can I build both client and server for these using free software?
In the process, I looked at the aoe code, and parts of it look like
obfuscated C contest. The use of switch() as an if was particulary
creative; I'm not even sure if I translated it properly... can you
take a look?

guess that's bad.
