CentOS - Dec 2006 - Initiator for iscsi?

Anyone running centos with an iscsi filesystem mounted?  If so:

What version of centos?
Which iscsi package?
What filesystem are you using on the mount?
Does it perform like you'd expect?

Thanks,

peter

Sorry for the top post, but yahoo is dumb. Maybe its just me though...

Yes, we are running with iSCSI filesystems mounted.

CentOS 4.4
iscsi-initiator-utils-4.0.3.0-4
GFS
Performance using iozone (I don't have the test run data available, but it
was acceptable given the redundancy and concurrent write operations GFS gives
us) testing was good on the test systems, but we haven't done testing on the
final production systems yet. I'm waiting to resolve mounting the third
iSCSI partition properly on 2/4 of the cluster nodes before running an all-out
test.

find a post from me earlier today, I give all the details of what worked 
with centos 4.x

using e3fs

it performs nearly as well as the original storage does on the processor 
its directly connected to...


[storedge3510fc]-----[fc switch]------[openfiler iscsi 
server]------[centos4 iscsi intiiator]

On CentOS 4.4 systems directly connected to the 3510FC SAN, I can't seem 
to sustain much over 60-70MB/sec... on the iscsi initiator going through 
another server, I saw about 50MB/sec.


I haven't even moved the iscsi to its own ethernet yet (I need more 
ports of gigE switch in my lab)
