[RFC][PATCH]: Make the iscsi storage backend mostly use sysfs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
     The newer version of iscsi-initiator-utils (6.2.0.865-0.2),
available in the f8-updates repository, is required as part of the fix
for a hang when doing iscsi logout (the other fix is in the 2.6.25
kernel).  Unfortunately, this version also changes the output of the
iscsiadm -m session -P 3 command; this output was being used to gather
the scsi devices available in a pool and present them as volumes.
Consequently, when starting an iSCSI pool on a machine with these newer
versions of the iscsi tools, the pool will be successfully created but
you won't be able to see any of the LUNs presented.

The attached patch *lessens* our dependency on the iscsiadm output by
using sysfs to gather the /dev devices.  Note that this patch is not to
be applied; I'm just putting it out there so people can take a look at
it.  DanB has suggested getting rid of our dependency on the iscsiadm
output altogether is the way to go, and I agree with him there; this is
mostly just a short-term solution, to possibly base future work on.
