iSCSI tests in 7.0-RC1

[Andrew Snow]

Hi!

I have been testing iSCSI initiator using two 7.0-RC1 machines. 
Machines are quad-core Xeons connected back to back via gigabit.  The 
target is running the same OS with the iscsi-target port talking 
directly to a local device partition on disk.

While it seems to work well initially (I can format, fsck, and mount a 
disk) after I start copying files in and out it seems to lock up 
regularly for about 15-20 seconds a time.  After it unblocks it 
continues as if nothing happened until 5-10 seconds later it happens 
again (and again).

Is this a known problem and is there any workaround?
