No. We tried to use lio and krbd initially, but there is a issue where IO might get stuck in the target/block layer and get executed after new IO. So for lio, tgt and tcmu it is not safe as is right now. We could add some code tcmu's file_example handler which can be used with krbd so it works like the rbd one. I do know enough about SCST right now. > Is it safe to use active/active multipath If use suse kernel with > target_core_rbd? > Thanks. > > 2018-03-07 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > shadowlin > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > *发件人：*Mike Christie <mchristi@xxxxxxxxxx> > *发送时间：*2018-03-07 03:51 > *主题：*Re: iSCSI Multipath (Load Balancing) vs RBD > Exclusive Lock > *收件人：*"Lazuardi Nasution"<mrxlazuardin@xxxxxxxxx>,"Ceph > Users"<ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > *抄送：* > > On 03/06/2018 01:17 PM, Lazuardi Nasution wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I want to do load balanced multipathing (multiple iSCSI gateway/exporter > > nodes) of iSCSI backed with RBD images.
