Added a new wiki page based on Vu Pham's readme and issues with recent kernels. I hope to keep it current as I get our targets up and running.


Thanks for doing this.
Please use the latest readme from this link - http://mellanox.com/pdf/products/software/Gen2_SRPT_README.txt

WinIB initiators --> Gentoo Linux SRP Target.


I mainly test linux initiators with gen2 srp-target. I have not tested win srp initiator with the target.

Anything wrong with the above approach, I would be interested in a best practices if there is one. I saw a CentOS target post, is this more stable or better performing?

There is no difference when you run the same srp target / scst codes in CentOS or RH/SuSe linux distributions. The storage back-end will determine the performance

You need the change if you test with top of scst svn trunk (or from version 0.9.6-pre2) If you test with scst before 0.9.6-pre2 (ie. version <= 0.9.6-pre1) you don't need the second argument for scst_register()

I tested with 2.6.20.x - I have not tested with 2.6.21-rcXX - you should send the patch to scst devel

there is *lean and mean* srpt's README in srpt_inc
SCST also has some document
You can add some wiki/notes for the problems in openfabrics wiki page https://wiki.openfabrics.org/tiki-index.php
