Thanks, I know ISCSI very well.  But what is "iSCSI FileIO" ?  The above
sounds like it's an iscsi target, is that correct?

I still can't make any sense of the actual setups.

The above seems to be the backend storage.  Then there's SCST somewhere
in which is in a out of tree kernel module.  And then you use XFS
somewhere.  Please provide a full description of the setup.
