That's not gonna work, it's a totally different model. I have a predefined protocol over hypervisor provided "channels" and page flipping also done by the hypervisor for the bulk data transfer. For the client side I cannot change the hypervisor nor the server speaking on the other end. And when I do write a server I do want it to be able to speak to all of the existing clients. There's SCSI command pass through as well, as I keep mentioning as it's an important reason I don't want to go with any of the non-SCSI solutions (other than perhaps ATA) being suggested. - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
