For the record, this driver _is_ in-kernel and does attach to CAM, if you want a comparison point: ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/users/danny/freebsd/iscsi-16.tar.bz2 I've compiled a prior version of this and it appears to work, but haven't run any sort of test with it. I've wanted to play with iSCSI targets on FreeBSD but have lacked the requisite test equipment. One of these days I'll get the hour or two I need to put together a test rig. > > -Maxim > > Scott Long wrote: >> Maxim Sobolev wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I wonder if anybody has any objections to importing iSCSI target daemon >>> from NetBSD (Intel) into the base. >>> >>> -Maxim >> >> Yes.
