Title: ISCSI
Post by: jrt13a on May 25, 2010, 01:24:08 PM

Any thoughts to adding iscsi support to this device?  Is it on the wishlist?

I can't imagine anyone seriously considering iSCSI support for this level of device.  Though linux does in general support it.  What possible use case can there be for this.

Considering that there are open source options which would cost dlink very little to compile, I was wondering why dlink would choose not to add it.  Iscsi would be a nice addition to this great product.  iscsi is very handy for many things, one of which is testing Oracle RAC, which can't be done with typical NAS (unsupported).  Admittedly, I will probably just go out and compile it myself, but not sure why D-Link wouldn't want to do this to add to it's feature list.
