I think this comment from = AJ, > was just in error when he was unaware of scsi-ml's transport classes.=20 Yeah - that was me being ignorant of the transport classes. Speaking of which, is anyone working on a transport class for iscsi? I see a patch for one in the archives ( http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=3Dlinux-scsi&m=3D108033504301079&w=3D2 ),= but it looks like the discussion sort of died off and nothing ever got accepted. = I'd be willing to put together a patch for an iscsi transport class if no one e= lse is working on one right now.
