After having had odd behavior from TM on a netatalk volume, I've =
switched over to istgt and the globalSAN iSCSI initiator, using a ZVOL.  =
I found the istgt configuration non-obvious, but I also have little =
background in iSCSI.  Took me about an hour to get it up and running =

authentication to work.
