The Community ENTerprise Operating System (CentOS) is a free operating system distribution based upon the Linux kernel. It is derived entirely from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution. CentOS exists to provide a free enterprise class computing platform and strives to maintain 100% binary compatibility with its Upstream upstream source, Red Hat.[1]
LIO has been the default block storage target from CentOS version 6.2, released on 12/20/2012.
