freebsd-ports/net/vblade/pkg-descr
Max Khon da8f955a78 New port: The vblade is the virtual EtherDrive (R) blade, a program that
makes a seekable file available over an ethernet local area network (LAN)
via the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) protocol.

The seekable file is typically a block device like /dev/md0 but even
regular files will work.  Sparse files can be especially convenient.
When vblade exports the block storage over AoE it becomes a storage
target.  Another host on the same LAN can access the storage if it has
a compatible aoe kernel driver.
