Hi Tomo,

see if you can reproduce this.

open-iscsi: latest git version
tgt: latest git version
all running on same hardware

This is the entry in /etc/tgt/targets.conf:

target iqn.2008-09.com.example:server.tape>
    backing-store /home/tapes/A3678299
#    incominguser someuser secretpass12
#    outgoinguser userA secretpassA
#    write-cache off
    device-type tape

</target>


I log into the target with open-iscsi. Indeed a /dev/st0 and /dev/nst0 device are created.

mt -f /dev/st0 status

works fine.

The tape file A3678299 is created with tgtimg and is a 100 MB data tape.

A simple

tar cvzf /dev/st0 /etc/tgt

works fine, no errors. However reading it back creates read error (I believe no EOF or something like that).

But a bigger tar

tar cvzf /dev/st0 /home/apauw

bombs out with a segfault, one tgtd daemon dies (there should be two running).
The actual file is just 10k big.


That's what I do, rather simple.

Now I may be doing something wrong here, but see if you can replicate this.

Thanks,

Albert
