Unless you need all of the power of the full CentOS distro (with the
configuration overhead that goes with this), you might consider a
dedicated storage server distro such as OpenFiler:

OpenFiler hosts their web site on CentOS. :)
We are only in the testing phase, but we have been using OpenFiler as an
iSCSI target and it is working like a champ.
