But don't you think everything is virtually the same :) I mean, what happens: kernel boots, your tiny init starts iscsid creates a disk, you switch root and start init again. Hardly magic? And is indeed for every distro the same. Now the interesting part is that there was a busybox patch for iscsi in busybox. Now if you can get that to work, you can make your own ultra tiny initrd (which ofcourse you share with the rest of us!) that takes as kernel-argument something like iscsi-rootdev=... and switches after success or retries/reboot upon failure. Maybe this tiny busybox initrd already exist, but I would consider this a nice little project :) Stefan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
