Thanks for the idea. I don't have SAS hardware, but I may start playing with qemu-kvm + megasas. > >> And also hope it could be useful. > > I think a mainline ATAoE target would be very useful, but I doubt it > should be merged into LIO, there just isn't a whole lot of overlap. May try to push kvblade upsteam, https://github.com/MatiasBjorling/kvblade But think again about merging it into LIO, looks like the only missing part is translating ATA command to SCSI command. (can't use libata-scsi.c, it only translates SCSI command to ATA command).
