iSCSI is a popular block storage protocol. Under this project, + a new, fast, and reliable kernel-based iSCSI initiator (client) + and target (server) have been implemented.

+ +

During October to December, the work focused on performance and + scalability. The target and the initiator now spread the load + over multiple kernel threads, and the locking is optimized to + reduce contention. This makes better use of multiple processor + cores.

+ +

Work to finish iSER support is ongoing. All those + optimizations will be gradually merged to head in + February, and are expected to merged back to stable/10 + and finally arrive in 10.1-RELEASE.

+ +

This project is sponsored by The &os; Foundation.
