Hi all,
I am playing with iscsi_initiator on FreeBSD 7-STABLE and Dell
PowerVault MD3000i. This is the first time I am testing iSCSI...
Does anyone have FreeBSD's iSCSI initiator in production / heavy load?
Or does somebody have experiences with Dell MD3000i?
One thing is "poor performance" ~ 60 - 70MB/s depending on RAID level
used. (poor performance compared to plain SATA disk which have 110MB/s -
both tested for reading as it is our planned load - multimedia streaming
and downloads)
The other thing is some problem with compatibility of initiator and Dell
MD3000i.
If I setup RAID 5 'Disk Group' consisted of 4x 1TB SATA drives (in
MD3000i) and then created for example 2 'Virtual Disks', both are
detected by iscontrol and added to /dev/ as da0 and da1, but da1 spams
log with messages like this:

The message repeated many times.
If I created more 'Virtual Disks' (7 for example), 3 of them are
producing same errors (da1, da3, da5)
If there is only one 'Virtual Disk', it seems fine... until I configured
second path to the virtual disk as I want to try gmultipath or geom_fox
(MD3000i is dual controller with 4 NICs), then second session produces
same errors.
First path - OK:

Can somebody advice some tweaks to get better performance and solution
of the errors above?
