The only current user that I know of is anaconda, but I have been working on making a more generic lib that others can use. I think Qlogic was going to use it too, but I have been trying to advise them not to since it was not upstream. For anaconda we need to be able to find targets/disks and setup the install on them. We want to then set things up so the OS uses those disks and whatever driver (software iscsi or one of the offload drivers or iser) they selected for root/boot and the other partitions. In general, I just want to have a way to login, discover, and manage targets and HBAs using the software iscsi or iser driver or one of the offload cards we support. So something like IMA. I wanted to keep it close to IMA so other vendors can use it for a plugin if needed. If your lib can or would like to do stuff like that, I would be very very very happy :)
