[itdiscuss] OpenFiler

[Glenn Kelley]

Try this

And Yes its worth it

Keep in mind however:

The Linux iSCSI Enterprise Target (IETd) that ships with openfiler  
doesn't allow multiple initiators to a single iSCSI target, so there's  
no way to share the space.

I can show you how to use zfs and opensolaris - we are seeing huge  
benefits to this setup.
ZFS is absolutely AWESOME

I think its about time I blog it actually -

Anyhow - openfiler is nice -

Being a bsd fan - I am torn between openfiler and freenas -  (ok think  
that might start a debate)  but we are to the point we are building  
our own disk arrays (20TB raw) for under $3500 with zfs - I can pull  
drives - and the thing stays live - really awesome.
