| 8 | This library provides a client library for accessing remote iSCSI |
| 9 | devices and also comes with patches to the sg3-utils source code |
| 10 | distribution to compile a special version of sg3-utils with iSCSI |
| 11 | support. |

| 13 | No support for iSCSI is provided by the sg3-utils maintainer. |

| 17 | Once sg3-utils is compiler and installed with libiscsi support, you |
| 18 | can specify remote iSCSI devices through a special URL format instead |
| 19 | of the normal /dev/* syntax. |
