Up and running with Openfiler <http://www.openfiler.com/> and MS's iSCSI
Initiator. 2TB of network storage. C'mon!
Now to get it running squid and Dansguardian somehow.
12:02 a.m.
Nice job!
Some queries:
- Have you tried a Linux initiator yet? Bonnie++ results if you do :)
- Assuming Gigabit Ethernet, what about jumbo frames?
Have you seen Etherboot[1] at all? If you've got your iSCSI target
running, you might like the idea of a diskless thin client.

Not yet. Was late! Would like a target to be /home for my son's Edubuntu
desktop.
It's fastethernet I'm afraid :-( and 11g wifi (need n cards for the clients)
will probably not use any thin clients but might be useful for my dl360
which wont boot from cd but does pxe.

Hi All,
Openfiler looks like something I have been after for a while. If I get
it up and running it will be using gigabit so will have a look at jumbo
frames and it will def be using linux boxes so will try and remember to
post some benchmarks.
It could take me a while before I have time to try it however.... too
much work, not enough time to play.

Just got the Linux initiator connected took all of 10 minutes from not
knowing anything at all about it and not having the software installed to
connecting with iscsiadm and having the volume mounted!
Very easy, even without a GUI under Ubuntu 10.10. Think there is a KDE
one....
Was surprised when it showed up in /dev as sdb1
NAS is dead as far as I'm concerned!

You going to write some kind of article explaining it all when you're done?
Would make an interesting read.. could shove it on the staffslug website too :)
