Would you use iSCSI on a dedicated server? Or can iSCSI server and client be on the same host? Otherwise that would add much higher infrastructure costs. We are trying to build really low cost clusters (from a hardware perspective at least). Unfortunately, iSCSI introduces even another overhead -- SCSI is not really a light-weight protocol. Another option would be gnbd, but that requires a dedicated "SAN" server cluster, again. Best Regards, Michael Paesold
