You can send it directly on my e-mail address, if necessary. goto the svn page for the code http://developer.berlios.de/svn/?group_id=4492 As for design desc, I do not have anything. It is the evolving source :) We are slowly merging leasons we learned from open-iscsi, your SCST code, the available software and HW targets, and the SCSI ULD's scatterlist code which needs redoing so it is a bit of a mess. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
