Neither was that IBM 3581 tape library. > Since it's a temporary need, I'll try to find a workaround... You should be able to do it with one of the iSCSI targets and a kernel 2.6.x Linux box containing an ethernet port and a SCSI connector/interface compatible with your library. Try looking thoroughly here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/iscsitarget/index.php?title=FrequentlyAskedQuestions and here: http://scst.sourceforge.net/ SCST is probably what you'll want. It apparently allows direct SCSI<->iSCSI device pass through, which sounds like what you want/need. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
