Me too! This subject is close to my heart, as exofs is the most
complete and advanced pNFSD base implementation. Last testing
has demonstrated amazing performance and scalability. Saturating
10G from a single client and saturating 4*10G storage cluster
from multiple clients.(Though there were problems with too many
