I would like to setup something like Openfiler, but we also need todo some other stuff that OpenFiler doesn't support, so I would prefer to export some of the HDD space (about 500GB) as iSCSI LUN's
Sorry for the thread necromancy here, but can you tell me what was missing from Openfiler that you'd like to use?
I'm looking down this path right now and will be sending a few related questions to the list.

Simple, it's only a NAS device, and not really a file server / web server / data base server as well. The purposes I needed is to replace SMB on the network, and iSCSI seemed like a good alternative. The server in question is a dev server, which I thought would be beneficial to setup as an iSCSI server as well and connect other servers to it's storage, and thus consolidate the storage on it :)
