i use the atrpm iscsitarget for a long time now in high traffic setups. it performs very well, and is rock solid. no problems until now. go for it :) but disabling the atrpms repo after installing the iscsitarget wouldnt be a bad idea. i wont go with userspace solutions like tgt, my benchmarks showed much more higher system load, lower transfer rates and lags from time to time. go for the kernel implemention cheers Juergen Alan Sparks wrote: > John R Pierce wrote: >> Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to bring up a >> iSCSI Target on a C5.3+ server ?
