 Hi folks,
 
 Sorry but not so firm in kernel hacking and structures, but if I've

 The problem is that I do a readahead (the tool) on a iscsi device with
 infortrend iscsi san as backend to warm up caches and my connection died,
 correctly the whole controller died and have to be reseted.

Whoa! Have you filled a ticket with them?
 
 Has anyone an idea?

Sounds like a big bug in their product.

It should normally work. The iscsi layer is basically just passing 
around scsi commands, so it does not know if read ahead is being used or 
now and should not care. I do not know about specific targets and the 
settings they need.
