Subject[ANNOUNCE]: SCST version 2.2.1 released
SCST version 2.2.1 has just been released. This release includes SCST core, target 
drivers iSCSI-SCST (iSCSI), qla2x00t (QLogic Fibre Channel), ib_srpt (InfiniBand
SRP) and scst_local (local loopback-like access) as well as SCST management
utility scstadmin.

SCST allows creation of sophisticated storage devices, which provide advanced
functionality, like replication, thin provisioning, deduplication, high
availability, automatic backup, etc. Another class of such devices are Virtual
Tape Libraries (VTL) as well as other disk-based backup solutions. SCST created
devices not limited by network interface only, but they can use any link
supporting SCSI-style data exchange, like Fibre Channel or SAS. Majority of modern
SAN appliances, especially higher end ones, are SCST based. It might well be that
your favorite storage appliance running SCST in the firmware.

More info about SCST and its modules you can find on: http://scst.sourceforge.net

Thanks to all who made it happen, especially Bart Van Assche, who prepared the
packages!

Vlad
