I think this example in your previous mail should also go to the tgtd manpage. I like when real examples are available from the manpage itself. We should probably have a "Passthrough" section in the tgtd manpage too. that describes how to use it and what limitations there are (can one share pt devices with local apps?, can you export the same physical device through multiple targets concurrently?). With three examples : pt of a scsi disk, pt of a cdrom, and marks tape library example in his email above. regards ronnie sahlberg On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 7:56 PM, Mark Harvey <markh794@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > FUJITA Tomonori wrote: >> >> On Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:38:10 +1000 >> Mark Harvey <markh794@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> >>> >>> I've had success using the passthru / sg devices for tape and robot >>> >> >> Cool.
