Not sure what you are trying to do here. Lustre, glusterfs, gfs etc
solve a different problem than imported remote storage ( which is
essentially what iscsi will give you )

I dont see why not. But you dont dont need openfilter to give you iscsi
capability. CentOS-5.1+ has had the ability to export an iscsi target
itself with all the tooling built in.

Depends on what you want, perhaps
http://slimphpiscsipan.sourceforge.net/ might be all that is needed in
your case ? I prefer using tgtadm on the cli. It also means that I can
script my storage box's configs and wrap them into puppet manifests.
