Thanks for the detailed info and the answers

I just updated last to 2813, what is the update? You tell me I need to update, is there a problem with 2813? If so, how could i know that if I hadn't posted a question to this forum? Is there a announce - maillinglist with all new versions/updates and need to know information about open-e and its products?

Do you know what options are important when I need to set when I'm going to connect with a lot of hosts and initiators? I have plenty memory and CPU cycles.

And you forgot my second question: Is it useful to have that much memory?

I noticed almost nothing is used when using only iscsi. this is my snmpdump of the mem usage:

UCD-SNMP-MIB::memTotalReal.0 = INTEGER: 16621052
UCD-SNMP-MIB::memAvailReal.0 = INTEGER: 15493392
only 1G of mem is used...
