If so, where can I get more information from? By looking at the source of ide-scsi I get the impression, that only IDE devices work, which have a kind of SCSI origin. The intention is to use IDE HDs via the ide-scsi driver in connection with a special file system (GPFS), since it does not (at least not officially) support IDE drives. Single node harddisk performance is not really an issue, since GPFS is a parallel filesystem, and it will be used with GBit Ethernet, in our case.
