I’ve spent the last several days messing with the GlobalSAN iSCSI initiator on Leopard, and long story short, it doesn’t work very well at all. Numerous hardlocks (on the order of 5 minutes after beginning a long-ish read/write operation).
I managed to get my Ubuntu Hardy Heron box set up with iSCSI, mounted the Thecus with hfsplus, and got my data off that way. I’ll be posting more information on my iSCSI setup under ubuntu, as well as how I’m putting together the MythTV box.
In other news I took the plunge and got the PeepCode unlimited special for Ruby on Rails programming screencasts. I’m actually really liking the screencasts, despite the fact I have a fair amount of rails experience.
Hopefully I can follow some of this up tomorrow.
