Zfs Iscsi from Qnap NAS

[Uzzi]

hi I've to add zfs iscsi from Qnap. Qnap have no access for root by ssh!
can I connect with admin user (ssh -o 'BatchMode=yes' -i /etc/pve/priv/zfs/IP_id_rsa admin@IP)?

Does Qnap uses ZFS internally?

 

[Uzzi]

nope

The using ZFS over iSCSI does not work.

No, you have to develop it yourself.

You can have a look at the perl code, it is almost straight forward to add new devices.

The current implementation for the 4 existing backends can be found in package libpve-storage-perl and on your filesystem in /usr/share/perl5/PVE/Storage/LunCmd/.

Make sure you already read the developer documentation at

Hi,

QNAP QES seems to be FreeBSD based (https://www.qnap.com/qes/2.1.0/) so BSD method should work, can you confirm this ?
