There are people on the OpenGFS list that have used HyperSCSI (same concept as 
iSCSI, just without the tcp/ip) together with evms without any useability 
problems. It works fairly well, but I wouldn't expect stellar performance out 
of it. Even with gigE you are only talking about theoretical max of 125M/s. 
Then start knocking off for protocol overhead, network congestion, more if 
it's not a dedicated storage network, etc., etc.
