Hi: I'm not sure if there is much interest in this, but I've recently realized that there is no good free software to validate iSCSI targets, not to mention FCOE targets, IB soft targets, etc. There's just no way to know if any change you make is "legal" short of learning to speak SCSI geek spec (or waiting to see what fails when you make a subtle change). So I have been working with the (user-space) libiscsi creator and maintainer, Ronnie Sahlberg, to enhance his test suite. But this only addresses iSCSI targets. Some of his tests have already shown problems like kernel panics when an incorrect bit is injected, showing the need for such testing. It occurs to me it would be most valuable if we had more generic SCSI tests, not even limited to soft targets, available to developers and manufacturers. How best to support such tests with our SCSI layer, and what tests are needed now and in the future may be a good topic for discussion. -- Lee Duncan SUSE Labs -- 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
