Hello Hackers
I was looking into setting up the Intel / NetBSD iSCSI Target port
on FreeBSD 6-STABLE . The first question I have is related to the use of
the iscsi target port on FreeBSD. In the original docs, bundled with the
Intel source, Intel had an example of setting up the target to have
direct access to a raw device. Below is a snippet from
/usr/ports/net/iscsi-target/work/netbsd-iscsi-20070908/doc/README
<snip>
With ufsdisk and ufsdisk_mmap you can directly access a device in /dev
by creating a symbolic link in /tmp to point to the appropriate device.
For example:
"ln -s /dev/sdd /tmp/iqn.com.intel.abc123_3260_iscsi_disk_lun_0"
</snip>
Does anyone know off hand if this works in FreeBSD or NetBSD?
The second question what iscsi initiators are out there ? Along time
ago Lucent had iscsi software for FreeBSD 4.x which has initiator
support but this has a restrictive license and does not support anything
newer then 4.9-RELEASE . Does anyone know what else could possibly be
used on 6-STABLE ?
Thanks Again.
