'k, maybe I'm misunderstanding things, but iSCSI != NFS ... iSCSI is just 
removing your SCSI drives from your local server and putting them in a 
different location (over an ethernet connection) ... with NFS, you have one 
server to which multiple clients can connect ... with iSCSI, you have a 
one-to-one mapping of a file system on the 'target' to the server in question 
... so, again, it was my understanding that stuff like an fsck is the 
responsibility of the server, not the target, same as if the SCSI drives were 
local to the server ...
