Ata over ethernet is nixos

What my options for getting Ata over Ethernet (aoe) going in nixos?

Anyone using it and getting results (bad? good?).

vblade and aoetools are not packaged in nixpkgs. Would iSCSI work? There is an experimental set of modules is packaged in this overlay: https://github.com/markuskowa/nix-system (openiscsi and targetcli is packaged in nixpkgs).

Maybe I’ll have a play and see if i get them packaged on my own machines here.

might be fun.

I’ll also have a look at iSCSI, but having use aoe in the past, i’ve had some success with it.

What are the cool kids using these days?

I think that iSCSI is widely used today to serve block devices over a network.
