 Thank you very much for the pointer to the newer version; we have seen a=20
 marked improvement with none of the 30 second studdering. I appreciate
 your rapid assistance!

Good,
can you send me the info of the target/s you are using to add
to the list of supported targets?

Cheers,
danny

 I'm running into some odd headaches regarding what looks like iSCSI initiat=
 ors
 going to sleep for approximately 30 seconds before returning to life and
 pumping a ton of information back to the target. While this is happening,
 system load climbs up alarmingly fast. Looking at tcpdumps in Wireshark, it
 shows what appears to be a nearly exact 30 second delay where the initiator
 stops talking to the target server, then abruptly restarts. Currently
 8 machines are talking to 2 servers with 4 targets a piece, and while its=

 working, we get good throughput. Activity is moderately high, as we are=20
 using the iSCSI targets as spool disks in an email cluster. As it appears
 that iscsi-target is a single-threaded process, would it be valuable to
 put each target in its own process on its own port? At any rate, this is
 causing serious problems on the mail processing machines.
 
can you send me the output of
sysctl net.iscsi

chears,

danny
