Hi All,
I set up http://scst.sourceforge.net/comparison.html page, which
compares features of existing SCSI target subsystems for Linux. The
comparison includes SCST, STGT, IET and LIO.
I might be not fully correct somewhere, so, if you don't agree with me
about some item(s) in the comparison table, please let me know and I
will fix that.
Performance is a bit debatable.
I made some simple SCST and STGT tests last week, there were some where
SCST won, there were some where STGT won.
What was surprising to me, although STGT has a bigger CPU impact than
SCST, STGT was faster when reading from an encrypted (dm-crypt) volume,
on a system where the CPU is the bottleneck (it can't decrypt as fast as
HDD can deliver data).
STGT was much slower when reading from a non-encrypted volume, when
target had "blockdev --setra 16384 ..." for a given target.
On the other hand, STGT was faster than SCST with default blockdev
readahead settings (256).
If anyone's interested, I can show results in a readable form on Monday
(right now, I have only raw data which is pretty long and would be hard
to compare).
