Preliminary (manual) suport for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI iSCSI] in Amahi 6.
From [http://forums.amahi.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&p=13885#p13885 this forums post].
= Server side =
Set up an iSCSI server on the Amahi box:
{{Code|root@host# yum install scsi-target-utils}}
Set up 1 Logical Volume (LV) that will be exported as an iSCSI LUN. The below output shows my LV created for time machine (hence the name lvtime).
{{Code|root@host# lvs | grep time
lvtime vg00 -wi-ao 500.00g}}
Export the LV: add it to /etc/tgt/targets.conf (note that there's a convention on how to export these!)
{{Code|<target iqn.2010-08.local.bonabo:galileo.lun1>
backing-store /dev/vg00/lvtime
</target>}}
Start the iSCSI target daemon and make sure it starts at boot time:
{{Code|root@host# service tgtd start; chkconfig tgtd on}}
Check the exported LUN(s):
{{Code|root@host# tgt-admin -s}}

I installed [http://www.studionetworksolutions.com/products/product_detail.php?pi=11 globalSAN iSCSI Initiator] for OS X by Studio Network Solutions (free community supported) iSCSI client for OS X) on the Mac.
I configured it to "see" the iSCSI lun (just type in the iqn IIRC); since it's presented to the OS as a normal disk you need to partition the drive first (it's a blank disk as far as the Mac is concerned). Then configure Time Machine to use that disk and you're done!
