This could be an interesting setup for booting off a NAS like Synology or QNAP. I haven't really used iSCSI, it's intimidating how much prep this takes...

iSCSI seems intentionally obscure. One of the improvements I made to NBD was invent a simple, standardized URI format so that you can specify servers easily, eg:

  nbdinfo nbd://server
  nbdcopy nbd://server:2001/ nbd+unix:///?socket=/tmp/localsock

The 'target' moves slow so once you learn it, it all stays relevant forever.

... And it's very, very fun.

		Does it offer performance advantages over NFS root?
