one thing that would be neat but obsolete/useless
would be if someone could build a few old linux kernels clients and
servers that support hyperscsi and create a number of capture
files and also update the wiki for hyperscsi accordingly.
while hyperscsi is a deadish protocol with the emergence of the (too
complex for its own good and lacking) iscsi protocol it would be
neat if we had good support for it.
it is a nice protocol in many ways and would imho opinion be wastly
superior to iscsi if they had finished converting it to hyperscsi over
ip instead of over ethernet.
(iscsi has lots of spare space in its header but still lacks an indication of
1, whether any digests are enabled or not, 2, the actual length of
the scsi cdb making 1, tools like ethereal more complex trying to
autodetect the settings if the login commands are not present in the
capture and 2, building a iscsi to iscsi bridge more complex than
nessecary since it would by nessecity either need to probe the ioctl
for the correct cdb size (iscsi cdbs are always 16 bytes) and the
packets dont even contain what command set it used :-( )
((that is what happens when non-ip people try to build an ip-standard))
