Thanks for sharing Andrew! Glad to see others are also pushing > 1M IOPs workloads with the mainline kernel target. Out of curiosity, would you mind sharing how many LUNs you needed to push 1.4M IOPs..? Also when you say the 'FC Target', I assume you mean tcm_fc(FCoE) fabric driver, yes..? > We are now trying to create a test-bed with FCoE, with only FCoE targets > and initiators (no FCF's).
