Status of iSCSI

[Forrest Aldrich]

I see.

Our application would be to a backend mailstore - so there would be only 
the mail-related "ids" that would connect... so I don't know that this 
would apply.

However, we're preferring to use iSCSI - which may require an OS change 
unfortunately, unless we find another means. 

Can someone here make a recommendation.   To keep FreeBSD at the 
front-end, we'd have to go fibre, but that's a little out of my 
experience, and I've been told there are issues with multiple 
connections to a FC share (or something of that nature).
