No response to this question on freebsd-questions so I am contacting 
you directly. Thanks in advance....



What is the significance of this log warning?

istgt_iscsi.c:4039:istgt_iscsi_transfer_out: ***WARNING*** pending_pdus > 0

I receive this warning very regularly.  Source code was not commented 
unfortunately...

There is no obvious association observed between the warning and 
iscsi load levels.

as the iscsi target

for iscsi targets via istgt)
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q9400  @ 2.66GHz (2133.34-MHz K8-class CPU)
