Frankly, in all the situation around Linux SCSI targets I for quite a

nobody cares about technical arguments and figuring out which subsystem
is the best. Instead, everything lives it own incomprehensible life,
where doesn't matter what you are doing, all already long ago decided
behind your back and you will never be told why. All accurate statements
not heard or, at best, called "handwaving", but dirty public opinion
manipulations based on half- and less-than-half- truth have very warn
welcome. This atmosphere is unhealthy, really.

Sorry Vlad, but this is simply not the truth. You have had ample time
to comment on the hundreds of TCM/LIO patches posted to linux-scsi and
lkml over the last years, but you have chosen never to comment on a
*single* one then, or even on a single one now of the dozens that have
been posted in the last 3 weeks while this thread has been lumbering
forward..

Actually, http://scst.sourceforge.net/comparison.html is the result of a very careful and comprehensive review of your code, most likely, the best it has ever had. Until high level questions are answered (Dmitry perfectly summarized them), there's no point to go into low level details reviewing particular patches.
