Thank you all very much! The suggested combinations of network configuration & iSCSI settings seem to have solved the problem, even though initially the speed fluctuated very heavily (no idea why ;)). I've run 3 consecutive full Bonnie++ tests now and tried different combinations, and these are the best results I could get so far:

Hopefully this discussion/thread will help others in the future! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
