linux-iscsi worked fine for me. It required some tweaking to compile
against 2.6.11

Still remember which changes you made? I'm still in the process of
doing the tweaks myself to compile properly. I've gotten unh_iscsi to
work and it seems to be pretty ok, though I still haven't gotten the
hang of getting multiple LUNs from one target -- linux-iscsi's
iscsiadm --sendtargets makes that part easy.

Oh, on another note, I'm curious as to how you've used iSCSI with Xen
(e.g. stability, scalability, performance). I ran the usual bonnie++
benchmarks to get I/O throughput, but from informal testing I get
slightly much better performance with NFS. And on reliability, it
seems that Linux is much better at handling NFS servers going away
rather than iSCSI Targets going away...
