Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

I came across this from slashdot that Intel (as well as others such as Cisco) had recently released patches to allow linux to support Fibre Channel over Ethernet. You can find the direct page at http://open-fcoe.org with additional information.

Currently it looks like there is some required patching as it isn't in the official tree yet. This is however a significant advance as it would allow even the home user (granted, the power home user) to setup an FC based system for whatever they are doing.

I'm really hoping I get a chance to play with this if I can get the older machines here all playing nicely together. I'd also like to hear about other peoples experience with it.
