any problem to add such option to NFS?? with iSCSI you just CAN't do it.
anyway this asking isn't bandwidth intensive, while adds delays. and
it may affect of transfer speed for ONE process reading one file, but
not multiuser system.
Regardless of whether iSCSI is any good, it's a common access method for
SAN devices, and from what I've been told, may be the *only* access
method. So in heterogenous (read windows dominated) environment where
you want to be able to access these things, an iSCSI initiator for
FreeBSD can only be a good thing.
