This done via an optional parameter inside of the /etc/sysconfig/initiator which does not break backwards comptability with existing installations. Additionally a fix has been included for HP iSCSI Target Nodes that involves the removal of a 'return on error' condition related to Underflow + S_BIT checking. For the former, manual pages and howto have been updated to reflect the change to the /etc/sysconfig/initiator configuration file. Additionally, it was recently brought to my attention that a check related to DataSequeceInOrder=Yes located in iscsi_initiator_erl0.c is causing a problem with certain vendors iSCSI Target nodes. I will be getting more information on this issue in the next few days, and will release a fix as soon as possible. I will keep everyone posted. Also, the Core-iSCSI list has been created. Everyone is invited to join at: http://groups.google.com/group/Core-iSCSI And finally, the project's website should be going online sometime in the next week. I will keep everyone posted. We have definately made an amazing amount of progress in the last 8 days, and the Core-iSCSI team will keep moving full steam ahead with the project as long as a need exists. Thanks for your support. -- Nicholas A. Bellinger
