I'm not really sure how to query google on this, and didn't turn up what I was looking for because of that, so here's the random question: Is there a way to make a Linux machine with a scsi controller act like a scsi device (is the correct term 'target'?) (such as a disk) using a local block device as storage? I'm not sure it would be of general use, but I can see uses in weird or remote prototyping situations... Like the subject says, just idle curiosity; I don't see having much use for it, but I was intrigued by the idea. Eli --------------------.
