Hi,
On a previous release of OpeniSCSI devices were created in the
format:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 8 03:35
ip-172.XXX.XXX.XXX:3260-iscsi-iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:XXX-lun-9 ->
../../sdl
where as with the latest release they are:
[root@kvm02 ~]# ls -l
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-172.XXX.XXX.XXX\:3260-iscsi-iqn.1986-03.com.sun\:02\:XXX-lun-16
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 19 07:01 block -> ../../../sdd
What is the difference? The "\" by the colons?
is it possible to switch back to the old naming convention or do we
need to modify our in-house scripts to take into account this new
formatting ? --
Thanks, Phil
open-iscsi does not have any control over the device naming. Udev
handles this.
Mike,
the difference is that the path is now a directory with the link underneath
that back to the actual device name. Before it was just a standard link. Will
take a look at udev.
Ah, I see. Check out your distros udev rules too. open-iscsi does not
distribute any, but some distros might add them. I think udev itself has
its own iscsi rule, but I am not sure what various distros do.
And I am not sure, but if you updated kernels then it might be due to a
change in how the core driver model code works and that might throwing
off the udev rules. Sometimes sysfs might change on the iscsi/scsi/block
lyaer in a way we have no control over and sometimes older udevs do not
handle it. And so you might have to update udev.
