That is, having the chunks on an iSCSI device.

Any thoughts?
Make sure it's not a toy iSCSI like a Dell AX100

What are the characteristics of a decent one then? Sub-10ms service times?
Anything else to consider?


Vendor supplied drivers or supported HBAs that do the iSCSI magic, and
even then with say QLogic make sure you have the latest firmware.

Oh and make sure whichever route you go, both ends support jumbo frames.

do NOT rely on toyware^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^linux iscsi utilites
