Hello, I am trying to setup tgt on a CentOS 7 system. I created a target, and enabled "ALL" initiators to login. When I try to create a logical unit from a regular file (which I believe is supported and should work), I get the error message "tgtadm: invalid request". In the logs, I see an error message related to "Permission denied". Can someone please help or give me pointers to debug this issue. Please CC me in the response. # tgtadm --mode target --op new --tid 1 --targetname target1 # tgtadm --mode target --op bind --tid 1 -I ALL # tgtadm --mode target --op show Target 1: target1 System information: Driver: iscsi State: ready I_T nexus information: LUN information: LUN: 0 Type: controller SCSI ID: IET 00010000 SCSI SN: beaf10 Size: 0 MB, Block size: 1 Online: Yes Removable media: No Prevent removal: No Readonly: No SWP: No Thin-provisioning: No Backing store type: null Backing store path: None Backing store flags: Account information: ACL information: ALL # ls -l /tmp/tgt_disk2_dd -rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 1048576 Jun 2 14:18 /tmp/tgt_disk2_dd # tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode logicalunit --op new --tid 1 --lun 2 -b /tmp/tgt_disk2_dd tgtadm: invalid request I see the following log entries: Jun 02 14:39:46 unknown0800275C3F01 tgtd[5505]: tgtd: device_mgmt(246) sz:23 params:path=/tmp/tgt_disk2_dd Jun 02 14:39:46 unknown0800275C3F01 tgtd[5505]: tgtd: bs_thread_open(412) 16 Jun 02 14:39:46 unknown0800275C3F01 tgtd[5505]: tgtd: backed_file_open(92) Could not open /tmp/tgt_disk2_dd, Permission denied Jun 02 14:39:46 unknown0800275C3F01 tgtd[5505]: tgtd: backed_file_open(92) Could not open /tmp/tgt_disk2_dd, Permission denied Thank you very much in advance, Ahmed. -- 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
