By the way, I have ever developed an iSCSI module which supports a part of multimedia command set. I know several people are using aufs with a writable layer over NFS-root. While NFS is very common and widely used, as an aufs readonly layer, NBD/eNBD, iSCSI or AoE can be used too (while I myself have never tried yet). The iSCSI module I have developed is actually a network software DVD drive. If your Media Player supports the iSCSI initiator, then you will be able to watch the DVD-movie over network with my module. The contents of the DVD can be stored in a harddrive on iSCSI target (server). So multiple users can watch the movie at the same time. Of course, you should have a right to have (or broadcast) a copy of the movie. When I developed the module, I thought it may be useful in a hotel or a airplane. But nobody was interested in my module at that time. It was several years ago when I developed the module, so it won't work on recent system. But I can upgrade it. If you are interested in the module, let's begin our business talk. :-) J. R.
