Hello,
=0D
I'm using bacula with an iscsi storage array without any=0D
iscsi hba on the bacula server (a dell poweredge 600sc). As=0D
the cpu load is quite high during backups, I thought maybe an=0D
iscsi hba would help a bit.
=0D
Would someone have a model to recommend that works well with linux ?

Hi Mikael,
I use a few Qlogic QLA4010C and QLA4050C iSCSI HBAs [1] on my iSCSI SAN
(EMC). All under Linux (we're a completely Linux shop server-wise) and
all work well. There are (or at least were, I haven't checked lately) a
few issues building the kernel module on *very* recent kernels (2.6.19 &
20) but earlier ones worked fine. Qlogic release their drivers under the
GPL and update them fairly often so seem to be pretty good. Have used
them under FC4/5 and RHEL4.
I've just had a look and it looks like the Qlogic driver has recently
been accepted for inclusion in the upstream kernel [2], the first for a
iSCSI HBA. This should make this even simpler :)
HTH
