RE: [Xen-users] disk backend performance

["Venefax" <venefax@xxxxxxxxx>]

I really need to share a directory but don't want to use NFS, but a lower
level, faster protocol over Ethernet that does not have the overhead of
TCP-IP. My main partition is formatted as the root "/" and then I guess I
cannot share a directory over AOE? An alternative would be to repartition my
drive and break it into two separate partitions, and publish one via AOE,
but how can I do that without reinstalling the OS?

SAN = exporting raw devices (FC, iSCSI, AoE,...)
NAS = exporting directories (NFS; CIFS,...)
