CentOS virt - May 2010 - Choices for shared network storage, NFS vs iSCSI

Has anyone here ran performance comparisons between NFS and iSCSI when
using network storage for KVM based guests. Also which have people found
to be easier for managing live migrates etc.

I think iSCSI is easier to implement and is certainly fast, but I'm unclear
about the number of iSCSI clients that can access a volume (iSCSI target) at
the same time. So, I use it with only one client at a time.
