Gleb Chesnokov b389e8d773 scst_local: Document current local target behavior
The scst_local README omits exported attributes, claims dynamic sessions
cannot be saved and uses an invalid module path. Its walkthrough also
creates and exports a writable backing file on the same host without
a safety boundary.

Commit 84d335f131 ("scst_local: Make the SCSI host number available
in sysfs") added host_no. Commit 00caf4d5c9 ("scstadmin: Make
-write_config save the scst_local session name") added the missing
serialization.

Document host_no and version from scst_local.c and remove the obsolete
session warning. Use ./scst_local.ko, fix the malformed sysfs path and
explain that add_default_tgt=0 suppresses default objects. Require
an isolated host and disposable backing path while retaining the
recursion, mount and swap restrictions.

Overview

This is the source code repository of the SCST project. SCST is a collection of Linux kernel drivers that implement SCSI target functionality. The SCST project includes:

  1. The SCST core in the scst/ subdirectory.
  2. A tool for loading, saving and modifying the SCST configuration in directory scstadmin/.
  3. Several SCSI target drivers in the directories iscsi-scst/, qla2x00t-32gbit/, qla2x00t/, srpt/, scst_local/ and fcst/.
  4. User space programs in the usr/ subdirectory, e.g. fileio_tgt.
  5. Various documentation in the doc/ subdirectory.

Instructions for building and installing SCST are available in the INSTALL.md file.

QLogic target driver

Two QLogic target drivers are included in the SCST project.

The default driver is located in the qla2x00t-32gbit directory. It is the newer one.

May anyone wish to switch back to the older driver that only supported up to 16 Gb/s adapters, it is located in qla2x00t directory. To make use of the older driver build scst with environment variable QLA_32GBIT=no set.
