We are moving to SAN in the near future to resolve a host of issues. I

We currently have 15 servers running FreeBSD and several more in the

production level of iSCSI initiator we will require. (The iSCSI target
host will be a third party vendor)
I am sending a request for information to the project lead but I am also
interested in knowing if anyone is currently using any iSCSI with
FreeBSD and what your success failures might be.
I just started using the latest iSCSI initiator[1] on my 6-STABLE desktop to
access some volumes on a LeftHand Networks SAN. It's a bit lacking in polish,
but it works quite well. The one big missing feature is that it doesn't
handle network disconnections. No panics or anything though, and performance
was what I expected.
I'd be interested in what Danny tells you about the initiator's readiness for
production use, but in any case you'll probably just have to do some
stability and stress testing on your own.

Thanks for the feedback.

Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
