January 6, 201115 yr Did you look at The Roadmap? It's near the bottom, under version "Never" (unless someone can make a compelling case to implement this).
January 7, 201115 yr Author I didn't know the roadmap was there. Very nice. The main reason I want iSCSI as an option is for applications like Mozy (online backup) that require local disk. I also prefer "local disk" over mapped network drives.
January 7, 201115 yr Author Also if iSCSI were available, unRAID would be the most complete replacement for a Drobo. Which I think is a huge competing product for something like this.

June 23, 201115 yr I would love to have it for working in Aperture 3. I could store my photo library on the safty of my unraid server and work as if it was loca.
June 24, 201115 yr I would love to have it for working in Aperture 3. I could store my photo library on the safty of my unraid server and work as if it was loca. Have you tired NFS in 4.7 or AFP in 5.0?
June 27, 201115 yr A post I've just written might help you to mount drives that appear as local: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13694.0
June 27, 201115 yr I would love to have it for working in Aperture 3. I could store my photo library on the safty of my unraid server and work as if it was loca. I tried this but poor performance over the network made it impractical. I keep "best of" photos in iPhoto on my Mac with a "backup" of iPhoto on unRAID. I also keep a dump of all photos on unRAID.
June 27, 201115 yr That's a fair point... if I were doing heavy editing of photos, I may not want that on an unRAID share. I have a 2TB MyBook Studio II Firewire drive hanging off my Snow Leopard Server which houses my iPhoto library and my home directory. This has proven to be really quite fast, even over my 1Gbps network, and offers RAID 1 redundancy. It's not a good use of disk space, being only RAID 1, hence the move to unRAID, but it does offer acceptably fast performance (greater than 60 MB/s read and write speed).
July 28, 201114 yr I would love to have it for working in Aperture 3. I could store my photo library on the safty of my unraid server and work as if it was loca. Have you tired NFS in 4.7 or AFP in 5.0? I haven't been able to upgrade to 5.0 yet. I have been thinking about it.... actually even more tempting with plex not too. I don't think that Aperture allows NFS either. You can setup a sparse image but I don't really trust that option. AFP should work... hopefully.

It's not a good use of disk space, being only RAID 1, hence the move to unRAID, but it does offer acceptably fast performance (greater than 60 MB/s read and write speed). My main use would be for keeping older libraries on Unraid and still being able to make a few small edits and use the library to pull images when needed. Current stuff I keep on my laptop with an automatic raw backup to a directory on unraid upon import. I tend to back up my Libraries by year since I am mainly a wedding photographer and I keep a separate library for personal stuff on my mac. The Mozy part is another big reason I would love to have iscsi.
