Hello,
 I have some disks that I'd like to export as read-only over iscsi.
Is this possible?  I read through the man page for iscsitadm, and it
doesn't mention this possibility.  Any suggestions?

Just for background information: The disks are from a Linux software
raid-5 setup.  The controller keeps having problems under Linux,
though, and the Solaris support for it is apparently much more stable.
So I want to read the data off without putting the buggy Linux driver
in the data path so I can back everything up, then migrate to Solaris.
So I'll export the disks from Solaris, then import them on Linux,
mount the array, and copy the data to a third machine.  It might be
slow, but it should work.

On another topic, what's the current status of port multiplier support
with the Marvell 88sx6081 controller?  This
(http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5137874&tstart=60)
seems to indicate it's unreliable with the Sil3124, but
(http://blogs.sun.com/pawelblog/entry/sata_framework_overview_part_4)
seems to indicate it should be there.  If it is supported, are any
particular devices suggested?

Thanks!
Will
