iSCSI: text commands that set mode parameters

["Eddy Quicksall" <eddy_quicksall@ivivity.com>]

I'm not crazy about setting mode parameters from text commands because the
mode pages are in logic which is outside of iSCSI.

 Section 3 - SCSI Mode Parameters for iSCSI says:
   The mode parameters can be set and retrieved by SCSI mode-set and
   mode-sense commands or with the iSCSI text commands and responses.
   The text commands offer the added convenience that at the end of the
   exchange the value selected is known to both parties.

I agree with the spirit of the last sentence above but I still think the
logic is misplaced.

Has anyone debated this yet?
Does anyone else share my opinion?
Is there a good reason to have the iSCSI layer do this?
Can we talk about this or is there a thread I should review?
