This would need to have the client part for each OS. I already have this part for FreeBSD, it needs only to be extended for non-HDD command set, but how about other OSes ? Does anyone volunteer to do that ? :-) Or do you suggest it as a commercial project ? Probably, another necessary and rather simple change will be to change the implementation to SCSI-over-TCP because the devices to be accessed are slow anyway. -Sergey To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
