Re: [CentOS] using CentOS as an iSCSI server?

Rudi Ahlers wrote

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 :)

whoa. ISCSI is *NOT* a NAS/SMB replacement.

ISCSI is a SAN replacement, a low budget (and lower performance) alternative to Fibrechannel.. a given iSCSI target volume can only be accessed by a single initiator (client) at a time, unless you're running some sort of cluster file system that supports shared block devices.
