I'll give that a try. I have been wondering if the way I have it setup
is my issue. I will put it on another system and give it another try.
Do you think if I set it up in another domU on a different xen host it
would be alright?
I wouldn't run that important service on a virtual machine.
You want to minimize the latency and maximize the throughput for the
iscsi target..
Unless it's only for testing purposes, then it's fine.
