As far as I know there is no work being done on I-scsi. It would be a *VERY* welcome work. If you have kernel questions--ask!! I have bandwidth for questions--just not the whole project. I am well versed with drivers in FreeBSD. I am (finally!!!) finishing the failover effort for FreeBSD. It is sort of like what Sequent had in their clusters (minus lock manager). I think wish to tackle process migration. I have a good idea what has to be done and I don't think 2 year is the target. Once I can start it could be 2-3 months. (I know I said that back in January--but then again how many times has 5.0 release been delayed ;-)) Andy Peter Ross wrote: >On Sun, 20 Apr 2003, Kip Macy wrote: > > > >>..
