<h3>Some background history of the <a href="comparison.html">Features comparison</a> page.</h3>
<p>LIO was the first who has had similar comparison page
http://www.linux-iscsi.org/index.php/Overview_Page. It was and still is very much
wrong about SCST. I asked that page author, Nicholas Bellinger, to
correct the wrong items (see <a href="http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=49AECE0B.5030009%40vlnb.net&forum_name=scst-devel">my
e-mail</a>), but Nicholas Bellinger refused to do it without any explanations. Moreover, he
blocked my access to the LIO mailing list, preventing me from tell that
to the interested people myself. After all our previous discussions and
with his skills and experience it's nearly impossible to believe that Nicholas Bellinger
didn't know that SCST is a lot more generic than LIO and has zero-copy
in all the same places, where LIO has. Thus, that comparison page looked like rather a deliberate cheating
attempt. Seems SCST is so much superior over LIO, so Nicholas Bellinger gave up technical discussions and started
attacking people's perception about SCST, trying to inspire them the
opposite.</p>
<p>So, for SCST there was no other way, except to setup own,
correct comparison. This comparison table turned out to be very useful,
so it was extended to cover all the SCSI target areas.</p>
