Hi,

iSCSI Enterprise Target (IET) is an iSCSI target for Linux which has been
around and widely used for many years. In the below mail are the details for
a FreeBSD port of the same. The homepage of IET is
http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/.

Cheers,
Shivram

Hi All,

A FreeBSD port for IET is available from http://www.quadstor.com/ietbsd/ .
The diff is about 130k, which didn't think is appropriate to attach to this
email.  Building and installation instructions can be got from
http://www.quadstor.com/tech-articles/116-iscsi-enterprise-target-iet-on-freebsd.html
.

A few things yet to be done are
1. proc interface is missing. I am yet to think of a good alternative for
FreeBSD.
2. sending a ping to an initiator and the digest code needs to be fully
tested
3. Clean up the patch to remove all #ifdef LINUX etc and make it on the
lines of a compatibility patch.

As of now the port has only been tested on x86_64.

Cheers,
Shivram
