50 Hmmm... The linked page is a howto on using IET and Open-iSCSI.
51 Elsewhere on the net, I read that tgt (Stgt?) is the replacement for
52 IET...
53
54 Which naturally leads to a confused me:
55
56 Is it true that tgt will replace IET?
57
58 If not (or not in the near future), what's the advantage/disadvantage
59 of one over the other?
60
61 If true, are there any links/howtos/tutorial on using tgt? And tuning it?
62
63 Thanks in advance!
