I had recently written about software storage targets as one of the
odd modules i really need in-kernel, be it a module or statically
compiled. I had mentioned scst and you had pointed me at
linux-iscsi.org.
I had not checked out the link since in the total chaotic mess of
linux iscsi modules i had confused with another one.

today i happened to have a few beers with one of the heads of
risingtide. after some googling later on i finally figured out that
this is "LIO" (or, longer, LinuxIscsiOrg) which is the totally awesome
unified storage target, much like Solaris' COMSTAR) which i was after
the whole time.
So please note you already had done the completely right thing and
included the very best linux has to offer.
LIO is the only target for linux that gets all the important stuff
like error handling and reservations 100% right.

Very happy, case closed,
Florian
