iSCSI with fvdw

[hardy74]

Doesn't seem like I will be able to install TGT on fvdw. If it was a full Linux package with a package manager and gcc and so on, yes, but not on something this barebone. Not enough skills, even though I can somewhat work my way around Linux command line.

I would welcome iSCSI support for future versions though. It's a something that for sure will be on the rise in the future, although not quite a trend.

I would also be happy to volunteer for testing, if an admin (out of 2 I guess...) would get interested in this.

//a happy user who will keep fvdw installed for sure

Ps. On v13, the setting for turning off the blue light doesn't appear to work. And pps a feature request: sleep with wol after x minutes.

Huum,
in the scheduler menu (cronjob menu), you can plan a "Nas Standby WOL"

About the blue LED, you are the first member who reports this :scratch.
What do you make exactly.

Do you read this post ? http://plugout.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=963
gcc would be available with the next version :-D

the blue led switching on and off works fine on my nwsp2

I will see if isci target compiles easily to provide you the daemon and control tools as well as the start stop-scripts and conf file. As I read it that will be all you need to set up

About the LED, see here: there's no status information for the LED On/Off, but probably there should be?

Then the LED On / LED Off buttons do nothing. It's the same on IE (v.10) and Firefox (v. 16). And with Chrome the admin system does not work at all. Maybe it's the Win 8 again?

Any way to set the LED off with ssh'ing in to the box?

Beautiful.

Hmm.. how do I send a private message... cannot find it. So for arranging testing (probably you don't want to do it trough the board) here's my email: hardy.makinen (at) gmail.com (Finland)

That I did, nice feature. But I was unclear: I meant "sleep" (or call it Standby with WOL) after x minutes of inactivity. The original firmware has that. Cannot find it here. To save the hd a bit and some electricity.

No it's normal because it doesn't exist an easy way to get LED status.

Yes, it seems there is again an issue.
This is not normal :

Do you have the same break in the white frame in all menus ?

Check your js console to see if there is no error message.

well it compiles but it seems it doesn't like that the kernel modules are already build into the kernel. Need more time to look at this

I got iSCSI-target running.. :mrgreen: and could connect with windows 7. I connected to one of the system partitions, of course windows 7 could not read it as it is formatted in ext3 (linux format) But it detected the "disk" withoput a problem and prosed to format it :disapprove which I generously refused. :lmao
the latest version of iSCSI-target refused to compile the needed extra kernel module because our kernel is too new :-D
I found in the development of them iscsi-target project a more recent version and that let me compile it...

More info during the weekend

Seems we can add another nice feature although it might be of limited use as we use ext3 format for the partition were all the shared folders are so not possible to read under windows

attached the files you will need. Put them in the corresponding system directories
Ps the following files must have executable permission enabled (chmod 755)
the two files in /usr/sbin
the file iscsi-target in /etc
the file iscsi_trgt.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.39.4


After installing the files give the command

Code: Select all

depmod

This to add the kernel module to the modules database

You will need to edit the file /etc/ietd.conf to define a target
for instance on this site you can find some hints how to do that
http://www.devtrends.com/index.php/comp ... x-rhel-53/

after that you can start the server by using the start script

Code: Select all

/etc/iscsi-target start

To stop it use stop instead of start

You can also start it manually using following commands

Code: Select all

modprobe iscsi_trgt
/usr/sbin/ietd

I tested it on my system and it worked :-D

let us know your test results
