iSCSI performance

Certainly, but even the official performance numbers you link to shows a serious slowdown when using iSCSI. Also, in several of the benchmarks WRITE performance is higher than READ performance, which of course looks anomalous! So, something is wrong with the iSCSI thing (and the problem might even lie in the choice of IET, which I have come to understand is pretty much the worst choice in iSCSI but probably was chosen for a reason, kernel-wise or whatnot).

So far, I have investigated different initiators, but that had no effect at all, next step is probably changing from FILEIO to BLOCKIO on a target to see if that affects anything. I'll report back.
