http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/81451/falconstor-iscsi-storage-server-for-windows-2.html sure looks like it's describing a target with read-only capability. "Access control comes next, and each host system can be blocked or allowed read-only, exclusive read/write or shared read-write privileges."
I think I see at least one other with a similar capability. Full support of reserve/release and persistent reserve in/out would be nice too, inasmuch as some OSs already seem to be doing that via iSCSI. IMO it's too bad that extent reservations were obsoleted; if it had been more widely supported, that would have been way cool for cluster filesystems. In effect, using what amounts to an extent-based filesystem (with the filesystem-level metadata itself in an extent), mainframes have been doing that for many years now... > That would be correct.
