Well you could use these to build a straight passthrough layer, and then work on the file system layer on the host. Probably the easiest way to bootstrap it. T

Well you could use these to build a straight passthrough layer, and then work on the file system layer on the host. Probably the easiest way to bootstrap it. There is probably a benefit in adding some processing on the controller side - eg PCI virtual functions and multiple queues. But mainly you want a block device that reports errors correctly. Not sure where you want to do the error correction (thats like TCP checksum offload, generally done on card vs whole TCP processing).
