All,
I'm running iscsiadm discovery from an initramfs, rather than
iscsistart, and I have a couple of questions.
I'm starting iscsid without any params, as the man page shows the
default iscsid.conf that will be used if nothing is specified as living
in /etc/iscsi/, which is present there.
I've successfully worked around the well known nss issues, but I'm
getting a weird error I do not understand during discovery:
iscsiadm: Could not read iface info for bond0. Make sure a
iface config with the file name and iface.iscsi_ifacename bond0 is
in /var/lib/iscsi/ifaces
I have an iface file named /etc/iscsi/ifaces/bond0, here are it's
contents:
# /etc/iscsi/ifaces/bond0
iface.iscsi_ifacename = bond0
iface.net_ifacename = bond0
iface.transport_name = tcp
Now, if I copy the /etc/iscsi/ifaces/bond0 file
to /var/lib/iscsi/ifaces/ then discovery works.
Why? What am I missing that the configs in /etc/iscsi/* are not being
used?
I goofed.
The open-iscsi.org code uses /etc/iscsi to store db stuff in.
Most distro versions use /var/lib/iscsi.
When I made the original code, I did not know that it was supposed to go
in /var instead of iscsi. And for open-iscsi.org I have not had time to
make change it. I can change the code easily, but I wanted to write some
script that moves the db from etc to var for the user, but had troubles
with things like selinux blowing up when I had the tools do it
automatically.
