[I have a bunch of block storage using the COMSTAR] I've been playing with just plain NVMe/TCP Linux target/initiator and it's great and can be accounted for and scale with more CPU on plain ethernet

Like, it's great, and doesn't need lossless ethernet. IMO it's going to become the standard NVMeoF that most people use.

It kicks the crap out of iscsi between the same test hosts

I hope it gets added to the COMSTAR by one of the storage vendors eventually

why comstar though if it's not scsi?

would improved mono support be Illumos or OI/SmartOS/Omni ?

my current paid work is with Unity which doesn't support Illumos at all but it might be able to if mono weren't so deficient on this platform

can't iterate over network interfaces amoung other things

considering the runtime doesn't support Illumos, no way my client is going to pay for a port :)

if mono and unity fully supported illumos the port would take 5 minutes

(how long the linux port took)

and no, I'm not writing a game, it's a tool for monitoring oil/gas wells and chemical factories

things could explode

yuripv: that’s a good point, although I assumed one would want it part of the same framework? I guess that wouldn’t work though, hence blkdev

and sorry, this computer is fairly broken

trying to build a new workspace

dangergrrl: projects got started and abandoned before

someone had started working on mono for illumos, but was doing it while going to school.. i think at least some of the work got integrated

yep, some of am11's work got integrated. i think the skafolding is there now

just not all the platform specific corecrl things i think

happy new year everyone (ajust for your local timezone as needed)
