A system may include information handling system devices connected together to form a computing cluster utilizing a SCSI interface. Each one of the information handling system devices may include an operating system kernel having a SCSI networking module for encapsulating Internet Protocol (IP) packets for transmitting between the information handling system devices. The system may also include SCSI hardware for connecting the information handling system devices together. The SCSI hardware may be configured to transmit the encapsulated IP packets between the information handling system devices.

A system and method for caching file data is disclosed. In one embodiment, in a method for caching file data stored in a storage device, wherein the file data is used by an application running on a computing system having a processor, a file system residing in memory, and a storage controller, file data required by the application running on the processor is determined and file access data is generated. Then, physical file mapping information related to the file access data on the storage device is determined. The physical file mapping information includes logical block information, associated physical block information, and a next block hint needed for caching portions of the file data for each subsequent logical block. Further, read commands are generated from the storage controller to read-ahead file data stored in the storage device using the physical file mapping information.
