Hello all, I have the following setup: iSCSI initiator on RHEL5. ISCSI target on RHEL5.1 I created an ext3 FS on the device # mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc mounted the device # mount /dev/sdc /mnt/sdc Trying to create a file on the mounted FS # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdc/tempfile bs=1k count=10M I got the following error on the initiator: dd: writing `/mnt/sdc/tempfile': Read-only file system 1489+0 records in 1488+0 records out This problem happens only with ext3 but not with ext2 and when created file is larger than 4GB. Please advise.
