Hi all, I'm a teacher of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China. Our team are trying to build a remote data storage middleware that sits between client and a remote storage device (e.g., an iscsi device). To achieve transparency, the middleware acts as a scsi target to client and as an initiator to the storage device. In this way, it intercepts commands and data to and from the device and performs functions such as 1) data encryption before storing to the device to provide security; 2) data compression and deduplication to save bandwidth. Now I have two questions: 1) Can we use tgt to implement such a middleware? 2) If we use a scsi initiator (e.g., iscsi initiator) on the middleware to interact with the remote storage device, how should tgt integrate with the initiator? I didn't find any relevant code in tgt source code. Are there any projects that do the similar thing so that we see how they do it? - Xiao Da -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
