2009-03-02 Thread Anil Gulecha
Hi, Nexenta CP and NexentaStor has integrated COMSTAR with ZFS, which provides 2-3x performance gain over userland SCSI target daemon. I;ve blogged in more detail at http://www.gulecha.org/2009/03/03/nexenta-iscsi-with-comstarzfs-integration/ Cheers, Anil http://www.gulecha.org __
