Why are you so aggressive ? I didn't insult you in any way. Regarding inclusion of SCSI target code in the mainline, this subject has already been discussed extensively in the past (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/23/134). The conclusion was clear: SCST is faster than any other existing iSCSI target for Linux (IET, STGT, LIO), stable, well maintained and the most standards compliant target. Why do you want to reopen this discussion ? James Bottomley clearly expressed in that thread that he doesn't want to maintain two SCSI target frameworks. So what I propose is that SCST is included in the mainline and afterwards that it is evaluated whether or not it is desirable to keep other target code in the mainline kernel.
