    [SOLVED] iscsiadm not reading /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf

    I'm putting this here so that others don't make the same mistake. In PVE's GUI, the iSCSI plugin (Datacenter > Storage > Add > iSCSI) doesn't offer a parameter to configure the username/password for Mutual CHAP authentication. I added the credentials to /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf and tested with...

    ZFS via iSCSI using LIO/targetcli
