The following is v1.6.1.21 of the iSCSI Initiator Core Stack for 2.6.11. This release includes the conversion of existing readonly proc entries to sysfs, as well as exporting out all iSCSI Channel, Session and Connection releated attributes. The procfs entries remain in this release, and will be removed in the next release once the userspace tools can be converted to use sysfs. Also in the release are changes related to Jeff Garzik's review (Thanks again Jeff!!).
The patch will be appearing shortly at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/nab/iscsi-initiator-core/ The same userspace tools (2.0) can be located at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/storage/iscsi/ This release was diffed, built and packaged using itself over an iSCSI SAN and all future release will continue to follow this procedure. One final note before we go into the fun stuff, the mailinglist and website will be setup by Monday and will be announced with the release of the next version of the userspace tools. I encourage everyone who is interested to join the mailing list, now on with the show. :-) To give the reader an idea of what the /sys/class/iscsi_initiator_core hierarchy looks like with two (2) iSCSI Channels (Initiator -> Target) defined with two (2) iSCSI connections per iSCSI Session to each of those iSCSI Target Nodes. I am open to discussion on how these entires should look.
