I've not used iSCSI more than a test 3 years ago but I just installed a 
Coraid system.  The bundle
with the SR1521 and CLN.  It was extremely easy to set up and create the 
shared disk.  I have the
CLN  exporting 3.5TB NFS to my network which isn't very huge by the 
scope of machines
accessing the data.

| Hey all...we're looking to do an inexpensive SAN and were thinking 
about using Coraid (www.coraid.com). We're familiar with iSCSI and have 
been using that for quite a while with good results on a  HP raid box 
(with about 12 disks) being served through a computer as the iSCSI target.

much better than the standard iSCSI?
| How scalable is it really? Does it really compare favorably to a 
hardware solution? What about an all software solution (ie using ietd 
iSCSI target) and the iSCSI software that already comes with CentOS?

| Thanks for any help/insights!
