iSCSI FileIO is using struct file that serves it as block level device 
via iSCSI technology:

There are RAID level 6 unit on the Areca RAID controller (1680). On the 
unit is created a volume group. In the volume group we have several 
logical volumes. The iSCSI FileIO volume is mounted and the file (lun) 
is served via SCST target as iSCSI LUN.

We have checked RAM with memtest+ and verified RAID unit health and no 
issues were found.
