I have done both. What do you want to know? I couldn't measure any performance difference nfs vs iscsi. Theoretically, iscsi should be more reliable, by default setting the refreservation and supposedly guaranteeing there will always be disk space available for writes, but I haven't found that to be reality. I have bumped into full disk problems with iscsi just as much as nfs, so it's important to simply monitor and manage intelligently. And the comstar stuff seems to be kind of unreliable, not to mention confusing. NFS seems to be considerably easier to manage. So I would recommend NFS rather than iscsi. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
