Coincidentally, I just Not sure what you are trying to do here. Lustre, glusterfs, gfs etc solve a different problem than imported remote storage ( which is essentially what iscsi will give you ) > googled on your post in the mailing list archive and was about to ask > since your setup worked, wouldn't that implied that it should also > work with openfiler providing the iSCSI connection? I dont see why not. But you dont dont need openfilter to give you iscsi capability. CentOS-5.1+ has had the ability to export an iscsi target itself with all the tooling built in. > Or would openfiler even be necessary? Depends on what you want, perhaps http://slimphpiscsipan.sourceforge.net/ might be all that is needed in your case ? I prefer using tgtadm on the cli. It also means that I can script my storage box's configs and wrap them into puppet manifests. - KB
