Thanks for the warning - do you have any refernces for these bugs ? I
have been using the iscsi-target for a while and never come across
anything problematic, but I havent really hammered it hard as yet.

Am currently playing around with using gmirror on a pair of iscsi
drives mounted using iscsi_initiator/iscsi-target and it seems to
work rather nicely actually. Reconnest if I disconnect a drive,
performance is O.K., and it appears to behave itself. I would rather
use ZFS on top, but I am not sure I *quite* trust it yet after some of
the comments on here and my own expeineces, so gmirror it is for now.

-pete.
