Subject: target mode fibre channel

Hi,

Does linux have target mode support for fibre-channel
? i.e. can I have a linux machine fitted with a
fibrechannel card accept and service fibrechannel
requests from another host ?

Basically, I want to construct a "RAID box" out of a
linux machine fitted with fibrechannel. Other
machines should be able to talk to this machine and
treat this as a large disk volume.

thanks for any pointers,
Muthian
