iSCSI Whitebox Performance
November 3rd, 2006 by Lou
The cheap iSCSI target I’ve put together may have better performance than I expected. Vdbench tests with 128K sequential writes are between 5 and 10 MB/sec. The performance is more variable than it should be. There is likely some aliasing between various parts of the stack: network, VMware block-size, iSCSI target configuration and so forth.
