Greetings all,

The first test results for Linux/iSCSI Initiators and targets for large
block sizes using 10 Gb/sec Ethernet + PCIe device-passthrough into
Linux/KVM guests have been posted at:

http://linux-iscsi.org/index.php/KVM-LIO-Target

So far, the results have been quite impressive using the Neterion X3100
series hardware with recent KVM-85 stable code (with Marcelo's patches,
see the above link) on v2.6.29.2 KVM guests, and using v2.6.30-rc3 KVM
Hosts.

Thanks for posting this! Very impressive results.
