STGT supports MMC (read and write) and SMC which makes it possible to build a dvd burning jukebox.
It also supports SSC and SMC which makes it possible to build a virtual tape library.

MMC and SMC are fairly mature.
SSC and SMC are reasonably mature and some people have succeeded in running some network backup applications with robot control successfully.


that brings up a point for STGT, we should really set up some "software combatibility matrix" for device types and application software.


For MMC I know that Nero and DVDdecrypted on windows works and dcdrecord under linux works.

So, I'll add for STGT:

- "Emulation of virtual tape and media changer" "Experimental"

- "Possibility to write to emulated CD-R devices" "+"

OK?

Thanks,
Vlad

Maybe you should also show which device types each
implementation can emulate.


OK. Seems I should add than STGT has additional emulation for SMC
and SSC devices as "Under development", correct?

Hi All,

I set up http://scst.sourceforge.net/comparison.html page, which
compares features of existing SCSI target subsystems for
Linux. The
comparison includes SCST, STGT, IET and LIO.

I might be not fully correct somewhere, so, if you don't
agree with
me about some item(s) in the comparison table, please let me know
and I will fix that.

Vlad
