	Where are the disks?  I'm guessing they're on an iSCSI server at
the other end of the 10Gbps interface, but what is the technology there?

	Let me see if I understand this.  The backup server has disks.
Those disks are formatted for ocfs2.  The backup server does NOT mount
these disks, it merely exports them via AoE.  Each server mounts its own
AoE disk as ocfs2 and writes backup data to the ocfs2 filesystems there.
Is this correct?
	Are those filesystems on the AoE disks clustered or in local
mode?  Does the backup server ever mount those filesystems?  Are the
errors you see on the live disks (the 10Gbps iSCSI ones) or on the
backup disks (AoE)?  What machine sees the errors, the two servers or
the backup server?
