Thanks. I shall try different bonding options on the hosts and switch and
assess the performance.  I don't think the disks will be the bottleneck as
each host has a 4 x disk RAID0 dedicated to sheepdog.

How far off being regarded as 'production ready' is sheepdog?  Is there
anything you would like tested, test cases that require writing, running
or anything I could do to help?


Thanks,
