<h1>Sponsoring of SCST integration into Linux kernel</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>At the moment, Linux doesn't have a SCSI target subsystem, which is
|
|
sufficiently good to satisfy the real life requirements, and there is a
|
|
growing demand in a such subsystem. At the same time, SCST has reached
|
|
<strong>mature and stable </strong> state and <strong>capable to satisfy
|
|
</strong> all the requirements. See
|
|
<a href="comparison.html">Comparison</a> page for more details.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Also is has <strong>the widest choice</strong> of supported SCSI transports
|
|
(iSCSI, Fibre Channel, Infiniband SRP, parallel SCSI, SAS), <strong>the
|
|
best performance</strong> and <strong>the biggest features set</strong>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>So, the next logical step should be to <strong>include SCST in the
|
|
mainline kernel</strong>. The first iteration of in-kernel inclusion review and comments
|
|
(see <a href="http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/10/245">http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/10/245</a>)
|
|
was quite positive.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But still there is a lot of work to do before all the necessary work in areas of code
|
|
preparation, submission, going through review circles, etc. is finished.
|
|
Activities in this direction have been carrying out, but far slower than
|
|
necessary, because they are mostly done in a spare time.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Thus, you can speed up a <strong>LOT</strong> all the works related to
|
|
SCST inclusion in the mainline kernel by <strong>sponsoring</strong> it.
|
|
The needed financial amount is quite low, just for one person for several months.
|
|
In this time all the current showstoppers, like /proc based interface, as well as
|
|
all problems found during past and future reviews should be fixed.
|
|
Even half of this amount would allow to work half full time exclusively on
|
|
SCST integration into Linux kernel. Donations can be on one time or per period of time basis,
|
|
from companies or individuals. They can be sent by direct bank transfer (preferred) or using
|
|
Western Union, Moneygram or similar payment system. Sorry, more convenient options, like PayPal, are
|
|
not available in Russia.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Investing in SCST integration in Linux kernel, you investing not only
|
|
in making Linux <strong>the best storage OS</strong>, but, if your company
|
|
has a product or service, based on SCST, you also investing in <strong>the secured
|
|
future</strong> of your product or service and, hence, in the <strong>the secured
|
|
future</strong> of your company.</p>
