It shouldn't be a problem.
It doesn't meter what kind of logical volume you will create (NAS, iSCSI or FC), you are always able to add the "use volume replication" to such a logical volume. You...

We have build-in drivers for Realtek NICs but they don't work well the RTL8111 which isn't actually an server designed NIC.
Give us some time and we will try to prepare something for you.
The hdparm tool can show the read performance speed but it varies depending on
the current system load.
A better way to test the performance will be to use the disk performance test
tool from the...
