I'm trying to create a block backstore in targetcli on a newly
installed Fedora 20 system.
I can confirm this is working on another Fedora 20 system (installed
about a month ago), and am wondering if there's an update somewhere
that may be impacting targetcli.
Here's what I'm attempting:
[root@bl05ssn09 ~]# lvcreate -n TEST -L 1G data
Logical volume "TEST" created
[root@bl05ssn09 ~]# targetcli
targetcli shell version 2.1.fb35

I managed to reproduce your bug on a Fedora 20 with a 3.14 kernel
(3.14.6-200.fc20.x86_64). The exception happens in the following part
of tcm.py:
At line 694 in BlockStorageObject._configure():
if write_back:
self.set_attribute("emulate_write_cache", 1)
The set_attribute() method fails because of a permission denied error.
As a workaround, you can comment out the two instructions in the
following file :
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rtslib/tcm.py
Best regards,
Thanks for diagnosing the issue!
This actually is fixed in rtslib-fb git repo, but hasn't been tagged
into a release. I'll go ahead and do that.
Thanks again -- Regards -- Andy
Confirmed fixed. Thank you!
