Works for me. If you do: tgt-admin -e -v Do you see the following output? # Device /mnt/1/notape1 is used (already tgtd target?). # Run 'lsof /mnt/1/notape1' to see the details. # Skipping device /mnt/1/notape1 - it is in use. # You can override it with --force or 'allow-in-use yes' config option. By default, we don't allow to use one block device more than once, as it can mean corruption when used by more than one initiator. If this was the case for you, just add "allow-in-use yes" to the target configuration: <target iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.tape> allow-in-use yes <backing-store /mnt/1/notape> lun 1 (...) If it was something different, please paste the whole output of "tgt-admin -e -v" (and the config file, if it is different from the one you sent in your first post). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo at vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html |
