Christian: I am seriously interested in both adding an API like this (if done right) and in adding more/better locking so that iscsid could support more parallelism. But I know almost nothing about DBus. Why would anyone say no to dbus? I know that at SUSE we require a security analysis before we allow a new daemon that uses DBus, but I assume that just meant it had lots of power (which could be used for evil but usually isn't). Can you explain the DBus trade-off to me? -- Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
