If you'd be so kind, please file a bug to get this enabled (by default) for their v4.1.y kernel here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues CONFIG_TARGET_CORE=m CONFIG_TCM_IBLOCK=m CONFIG_TCM_FILEIO=m CONFIG_TCM_PSCSI=m CONFIG_TCM_USER=m CONFIG_LOOPBACK_TARGET=m CONFIG_TCM_FC=m CONFIG_ISCSI_TARGET=m Thanks for reporting! --nab -- 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
