Re: [pve-devel] [PATCH storage 0/2] Add SCST provider to ZFS over iSCSI

to at least consider adding it. There is also ESOS (http://www.esos-project.com/) what is basically SCST (and ZFS if built with it) that is very stable and really painless to setup and maintain. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, *Alexander Schmid* *Anschrift:* Alexander Schmid Modula Shop Systems

For the Custom Storage Plugins it would be great to have a way for the plugin to inject some ExtJS. So, the Plugin could add a Controller that registers with some component queries to events in the GUI and i.e. show a meaninful dialog in Datacenter / Storage. Of course, the Plugin-Developer
