[Bioclusters] Ethernet Performance

[Rene Storm]

HI,

First to the 709 MB/sec. Please read the answer from joe, there is nothing 
more to say about it.

But tree-copy-rsync sounds very interesting.
We have tested stuff like msync, a multicast rsync tool, but it seems msync 
does loose to many connections and you got trouble with corupt data.

We also played around with mpi I/O to copy files, but this seems to be very 
slow.

Is there someone brave out there with pvfs2 performance results?

Regards
