Yes, it is one of differences. istgt reports connected information such as SCSI port to the initiator for discriminating multipath and failover path. As a side effect, perhaps more accurate identification is possible. >Is there any particular testcases you want to perform? If you use it as usual, it is tested enough. If I had to say, I want to know how much a CPU usage on the target machine. Because istgt is more complicated than iscsi-target. >Tested on FreeBSD 7.1-STABLE #0: Wed Mar 11 22:29:33 EET 2009 Did you use the target with ZFS? or UFS? Did you use MCS feature?
