In the case of a Linux box which is being used as an iSCSI target with SCSI disks, what are the demerits in BY-passing the SCSI mid-layer so that the iSCSI driver directly talks to the LOW-level SCSI drivers for the specific HBAs ? (ignore the HBA vendor lock-in issues etc....ANY technical issues ? Since the SCSI-midlayer's most important function of error handling etc will anyway be performed by the equivalent entitiy on the iSCSI initiator side....I dont see any good reason to depend on the SCSI mid-layer at the target side. But I'm new to this hence ... this post. thanks, -tkrishna - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
