Hello I'm curious about what is and isn't possible using scsi target mode in FreeBSD, both in principle and given the current state of the architecture. In particular I am curious if it is possible to use a scsi card in target mode, to "export" drives, such as a geom array, to be accessed by another computer over a physical scsi connect. I believe this is what iscsi support aims at, however i'm interested in other scsi interfaces, such as parrellel or perhaps SAS. Searching the archives and web somewhat, I have seen other people ask this a couple times but haven't found a definite answer. This would be to perhaps re-purpose an older computer, or an inexpensive one, to act much like an external raid (but perhaps potentially more flexible). Is is possible now? If not, could it be done with some hacking and coding? How crazy would you have to be to try? _derek
