My testing env is Vmware, the backend disks are new/empty. Here's my testing result:
1. OpenBSD 4.1 with iscsi-target compiled (I can't find it in the ports) It support disk slice directly, I use /dev/sd1c. 2. NetBSD 4.0-current with iscsi-target in base OS It support disk slice directly, I use /dev/sd1d. 3. FreeBSD 6.2 with iscsi-target port: When the new harddisk is added. It is empty and do not have any individual slice (only have /dev/da1). iscsi-target cannot use /dev/da1 directly (tested yesterday) /dev/da1c is gone in FreeBSD (since 5.0).... I have tried to create a disk slice by fdisk (/dev/da1s1 and /dev/da1s1c is created). But iscsi-target cannot use them directly: Reading configuration from `./targets' target0:rw:0.0.0.0/0 extent0:/dev/da1s1:0:629145600 DISK: 1 logical units (1228800 blocks, 512 bytes/block), type iscsi fs DISK: LU 0: pid 1916:disk.c:778: ***ERROR*** error reading "target0"pid 1916:disk.c:895: ***ERROR*** error allocating space for "target0"pid 1916:target.c:1487: ***ERROR*** device_init() failed pid 1916:iscsi-target.c:150: ***ERROR*** target_init() failed Reading configuration from `./targets' target0:rw:0.0.0.0/0 extent0:/dev/da1s1c:0:629145600 DISK: 1 logical units (1228800 blocks, 512 bytes/block), type iscsi fs DISK: LU 0: pid 1919:disk.c:778: ***ERROR*** error reading "target0"pid 1919:disk.c:895: ***ERROR*** error allocating space for "target0"pid 1919:target.c:1487: ***ERROR*** device_init() failed pid 1919:iscsi-target.c:150: ***ERROR*** target_init() failed Patrick --- Mark Foster <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Patrick Dung wrote: > > It would be great if disk device can be used directly. > > > > BTW, I have not yet test netbsd with raw disk. > > seems someone test on openbsd and it seems working: > > http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=43960 > > > Whole disk or slice?
