Any changes I make to the iscsi.conf files don't get used. The initiator
prefers to use these "negotiated" values.=20

Can you setup the target to ask for different values?

And for the initiator are you using the defaults in the iscsi.conf file
or did you change some of them? And if you changed some of them were
they reccomended by EMC/DEll or were they just numbers you were
experimenting with? The segment length values could be a little larger
and for other targets it is usefull to have FirstBurstLength set to
something larger like around MaxRecvDataSegmentLength at least and have
ImmediateData =3D Yes. The values you are using looking like EMC
reccomended ones though.
