Apparently pcfs reads the complete file allocation table into kernel memory when the filesystem is mounted. For a FAT32 filesystem on a large disk, the file allocation table can be quite large (several MB). With an usb hdd connected to a an usb 1.1 port, this can take a while...

(initiator and target support)All, I have not seen this posted anywhere, so, I thought i would ask you folks. Does S10 have support for iSCSI as both an initiator as well as a target?
