Hi, I cannot find any information regarding practical limits on amount of iSCSI targets supported by tgtd. Trying to use tgtd with many targets (hundreds of, say 400-500), I've experienced some issues in its management interface (tgtadm <-> tgtd). Each target has only one disk attached, the greater target count is, the higher probability of experiencing the bug. Sometimes command showing all targets returns incomplete output, as if it was randomly stripped. # tgtadm -C 0 --op show --mode target | grep -c ^Target 301 # tgtadm -C 0 --op show --mode target | grep -c ^Target 300 # tgtadm -C 0 --op show --mode target | wc -c 317914 # tgtadm -C 0 --op show --mode target | wc -c 316690 # tgtadm -C 0 --op show --mode target | wc -c 317914 # tgtadm -C 0 --op show --mode target | wc -c 310695 The closest description to this bug I've managed to find is this thread: http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/stgt/2012-July/005324.html (op had the same symptoms). I was able to reproduce this bug on tgt 1.0.4 (Debian Squeeze), 1.0.17 (Debian Wheezy), 1.0.43 (latest so far). Tested on linux kernels 2.6.32, 3.2.0 (both amd64). -- Regards, Artyom-- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
