Iscsitarget compile error

[diaolin]

Hi, due to my personal need of the module iscsi_trgt i've tryed installing it
with the normal debian methods:

apt-get install iscsitarget-source
apt-get install build-essential

compiled via

m-a prepare
m-a update
m-a a-i iscsitarget

ERROR:

/usr/src/modules/iscsitarget/kernel/config.c: In function
│ ‘iet_procfs_init’:
│ /usr/src/modules/iscsitarget/kernel/config.c:46: error: ‘struct
│ proc_dir_entry’ has no member named ‘owner’
│ make[3]: *** [/usr/src/modules/iscsitarget/kernel/config.o] Error 1

│ make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/iscsitarget'
│ make: *** [kdist_build] Error 2

I did the same with a original Debian64 and the problem didn't appear!

Anyone has an idea????

Do you really need iscsi_target? We include SCST in our kernels.

 

[diaolin]

yes, i need iscsitarget, i use it on amd64 and it's very stable and the administration on the fly works like a charm.

Is it a big problem? I see only that little error but.. i'm not a kernel guru!

I'm working on a mixed solution with openvz+kvm+kvm-nbd mapped disks

Do you have a hint?

Hi,
do you plan to switch to lio http://linux-iscsi.org ? Should be faster and is in the kernel since 2.6.38.

AFAIK it is included in the 2.6.35 branch.

no, because so far only SCST has reasonable tape pass through.

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGhhhh,,,,
withouth openvz!

Do you know the problem of this compile error? I did install it on Debian amd64 and it compiles with the 2.6.32 kernel witouth errors...
not with proxmox

Resolved...

installed the 1.4.20 version of iscsitarget-source using the squeeze repository

apt-get install iscsitarget-source -t squeeze

then

removed the squeeze repo

m-a prepare
m-a update
m-a a-i iscsitarget

ok, now it's ok but...

bingo, i've written a script for iscsitarget that works even with SCST

just changing the header for the script i can create a target dinamically associated with a qemu-nbd exported device....

Great, many thanks
