I did some research on this but didn't have the $25K to get a module from
RaidZone so I can't say for sure but indications are that it should work
very well. iSCSI provides a raw device-like partition(?) to whatever OS
is running. The sales guy seemed pretty hyped up about their iSCSI client
for Linux.

Jacques says if it is a file system that can be normally be used by
vserver then it should work.
