Hi Joe

Snapshots used to work for iSCSI but I recall Rafiu saying that they
weren't supported and would probably be disabled until they were tested
fully. Not sure if this was ever done though so it may just be exporting
that's lacking from the GUI. My primary motivation for this is it would
be awesome to be able to schedule daily snapshots (or a single one
that's just overwritten) and have it exported to a backup server so you
can backup without fear of open files etc.

I can understand not having GCC etc installed by default for an
"appliance" type device, but what would be useful is a developer version
of the ISO's that includes a full build environment

Hmmm... I thought they already exist (the snapshots).  Export control 
may be harder ...

I haven't crafted my script yet for bonding (waiting on this, unless 
there is interest from the OF folks).

What I would like to get is enough of the gcc bits in so when we need to

build a driver for some reason we don't have to start with a full rpath 
install somewhere ...  (I have a vmware session set up for this now).
