NFS + 10gb + Bonding?

Okay, I was just throwing thoughts out there. Never mind.

haha no worries, I was trying to make a problem out of something that doesn't really exist.

I would buy off eBay all the time if I could, but we have contracted vendors and procurement rules we have to follow.

I had to get director level authorized approval to but three 10Gbe NICs off Amazon instead of the contracted vendor to save $1400. It's completely assinine!

Like the transceivers I had to buy for $1400 each when the exact same brand-new finisar was $150. Drives me nuts

At one point all our Linux servers had to be rhel, even though we could not get budget to register them all. So we couldn't update them. The absurdity of it pisses me off to this day. I had this pending project to convert them to centos that was not approved until we had a change in management.
