Installing the OSD System
-------------------------

 1. Build kernel version 2.4 w/ SMP mode disabled and make sure the 
    directory /usr/src/linux points to this build.
 2. Modify initiator.h and initiator.c (as per the README) to point to 
    your intended target.
 3. Run 'make osd' to build all the OSD  executables.  In particular,
    you need uosd, so.o, intel_iscsi.o and osdfs.o.
 4. Run 'make all' to build the remaining executables. 
 5. Select a machine as the target and run "uosd -f" as root on this 
    machine. This will create files and directories in /tmp.
 
----------------------
Testing the OSD System
----------------------

 6. Run utest to make sure the target is working OK.
 7. Do an "insmod ./so.o" to install the Linux SCSI upper layer driver for OSD.
 8. Do an "insmod ./intel_iscsi.o" to install the kernel mode iSCSI initiator.
 9. Do an "insmod ./osdfs.o" to install the file system.
10. Make the OSD device with "mknod /dev/so0 b 232 0".
11. Do a "mount -t osdfs /dev/so0 /mnt" to mount the filesystem.
12. Go to /mnt and run "echo Hello, World! > foo" to create an object 
    on the OSD.
13. Do a "cat foo" to read the object. you should see "Hello, world!"

From here you should be able to use /mnt as you would any filesystem.
