Mounting iSCSI Share to LXC Container

[MFB1205]

Hello,

I am currently trying to mount a iSCSI Share to an LXC Container.

If I try to mount the iSCSI Share directly to the LXC Container I get the following error message:
"iscsiadm: read error (-1/104), daemon died?
iscsiadm: iSCSI driver tcp is not loaded. Load the module then retry the command.
iscsiadm: Could not perform SendTargets discovery: iSCSI driver not found. Please make sure it is loaded, and retry the operation"

But the module seems to be loaded:
lsmod |grep scsi
iscsi_tcp 24576 1
libiscsi_tcp 32768 1 isci_tcp

I tried many different LXC Containers, rebooted them, nothing.

If I mount the iSCSI Share directly to Proxmox it just works fine.
Is there a way to maybe passtrough the iSCSI Share I mounted to Proxmox to a LXC Container?

Hi,

mounting such shares in LXC containers is always a hassle due to privilege separation.

If I mount the iSCSI Share directly to Proxmox it just works fine.
Is there a way to maybe passtrough the iSCSI Share I mounted to Proxmox to a LXC Container?

You can do these using bind-mounts. In your case e.g.:

 pct set <vmid> -mp0 /path/to/iscsi/share/on/host,mp=/path/in/container

-mp0 might be adjusted if you already have some other bind-mounts. You can check this using pct config <vmid> | grep ^mp, then simply choose the next free number.

You can find more information about bind mounts in our documentation.

Hope this helps!
