Mageia as Raid storage server & iSCSI target

[NickC]

Just wondering what opinions are about using Mageia 4.1 as a Raid storage server and iSCSI target. Are there any tools for creating and administering Raid arrays. What about iSCSI target, is that easy to setup.

Thanks,
Nick

not sure if it helps you
but i used the following on a redhat/centos system.

could be the same on mageia, ive not tried, but mageia does
share much dna with centos.

theres a couple of errors, on that that i need to correct, but if you ignore them, then it will be a good hint/start

I do not see any reason why mAgeia would not work fine for this purpose. However, I think that FreeBSD with ZFS is probably a much better choice. I have many reasons for this, and I won't detail them all right now, but I do have a NAS deployed using nas4free which is FreeBSD based and I consider its performance to be outstanding.
