Archlinux, as we all know, is a dynamic platform which can be molded to suit the users needs.  Why not also use ArchLinux as a SAN service provider?  With the packages available in the AUR, an Archlinux server will be setup and configured to run as a SAN provider. Major focus points will be:
* Overview of SAN technology
* Installation and configuration of open-iscsi and iscsitarget packages
* Building and connecting to SAN volumes in Arch and Windows based clients
* Securing SAN volume connections
* Replication and backup of SAN volumes
* Single vs multipathing of SAN volumes
* Briefly, the iscsi AUR and according dependancy packages will be installed onto both a client and server.

 The server iscsi target installation will be configured with port information, authentication information, and volume information.  The volume will be created or added to the system and the iscsi-target daemon will be started.  On the client side an initiator and the necessary configuration will be defined so that the client can receive the SAN volume.  The daemon will be started and the disk will be discovered as an extra block device in the fdisk listing.  The disk will be mounted and at this point the  SAN will be functional.  Further details will include multipathing, connection to windows hosts, and SAN security

There are a lot of ways to manage your music collection, just like there are a lot of ways to manage your operating system. In this presentation, you will learn about important concepts related to digital music and the tools you can use to manage your collection the Arch Way. The main topics covered will be: getting music, organizing music and storing music, using simple, single purpose tools. The goal is to give you as much control over your collection as you want, while being able to share and synchronize it across all the devices and services that will consume it (without losing your hair, which may still happen for other reasons).
