Hello, So lets assume the situation that you create an image file using targetcli and export this using FILEIO to ESXi. When you format the volume inside VMware then everything is fine and works well... Now repeat the same thing but instead of an image you create the image based on the device e.g. /dev/md0 (for mdadm raid). Theoretically this should work as well since targetcli says everything is ok. However the reality is that VMware spits out error messages during the format of the disk. Am I missing something or should the two scenarios work the same way? -- Henrik -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
