-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I wonder if anyone has any idea what error 1006 means in: iscsid: detected iSCSI connection (handle 0xf7d16600) error (1006) state (3) This shows up in messages whenever I try to mkfs a volume on an SAN connected via iSCSI. This is my setup: My server (called screms) is a Dell PE1650 running Debian testing (etch), kernel 2.6.15-1-686-smp, open-iscsi 1.0-485 as provided by the official kernel package. The Dell connects to the SAN through its builtin Gig-ethernet NIC (Intel PRO/1000). This NIC is connected to a Cisco switch which connects to the SAN through one of its Gig-ethernet fiber ports. The SAN is built by Hitachi around a McData switch which has 2 fiber-channel and 2 fiber ethernet iSCSI ports. The server's IP address is 192.168.1.88; the SAN's IP address is 192.168.1.10. The network between the server and the SAN is segregated to its own vlan. I don't think any of these details are relevant, the same symptoms occur with any other connection mode I was able to try so far. I've included them here for completion's sake. - From the server acting as an initiator, I can query the SAN: screms:~# iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p 192.168.1.10 [8664fe] 192.168.1.10:3260,-1 eui.50060e800044ddb2 [8664fc] 192.168.1.10:3260,-1 eui.50060e800044ddb0 I can also login to the controller: screms:~# iscsiadm -m node -r 8664fc --login screms:~# dmesg|tail scsi29 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP, v.0.3 Vendor: HITACHI Model: DF600F Rev: 0000 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 04 SCSI device sdf: 150994944 512-byte hdwr sectors (77309 MB) SCSI device sdf: drive cache: write through SCSI device sdf: 150994944 512-byte hdwr sectors (77309 MB) SCSI device sdf: drive cache: write through sdf: unknown partition table sd 29:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sdf sd 29:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 0 i.50060e800044ddb0 However when I try to mkfs the sdf device the process hangs while writing inode tables at around 180/576. If I log out of the controller the mkfs process does finish but the resulting fs is unusable. Any takers?
