Bringing to attention those that might be interested..

Got my n800 working as an iscsi initiator with the help of the work done here..
https://linux-iscsi.org/index.php/Core-iSCSI/Nokia_800

have a couple of 250GB disks that I export through iscsi-target and then using the initiator can mount and do whatever with theses disks on my 800.

note:
This is not a NFS vs ISCSI thread

Really interesting.
Do you know of a free MacOS iSCSI target?

Also see http://linux-iscsi.org/index.php/Mai...unning_OS_2008 and http://linux-iscsi.org/builds/maemo/OS2008/

It doesn't seem there is a iSCSI target for Mac OSX, see http://linux-iscsi.org/index.php/ISCSI/MacOSX for an initiator.

There is a very small, open source, userspace iSCSI-target in NetBSD which is also ported to FreeBSD. See ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc...CSI-target.txt for a howto. Its probably possible to port this to OS X as well, but I could not find a port on MacPorts.org

Given ZFS is ported to MacOS X in Snow Leopard (10.6) this opens the possibility of OS X for SAN.

Personally, I'd rather use Solaris, Linux, or *BSD for such purpose. If not only for the reason they got iSCSI-target
