Bug Description

Binary package hint: iscsitarget

Using iscsitarget on Maverick as of July 10 2010 with the latest updates setting up an iscsi target fails with the following error:

Jul 10 12:11:39 udc ietd: can't create a target 2 0

If the latest release iscsitarget-1.4.20.1 is installed this problem goes away.

My assumption is that there are kernel compatibility issues with the current version in Maverick.

To repeat:
create a simple image in /tmp

dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.img bs=1024 count=50k

Create a basic /etc/ietd.conf setup

--
Target iqn.2010-07.org.example:storage.lun0
        Lun 0 Path=/tmp/test.img,Type=fileio
--

service iscsitarget start

Observe the error in /var/log/daemon.log

service iscsitarget stop
rmmod iscsi_trgt

download, and install the latest from http://sourceforge.net/projects/iscsitarget/files/

service iscsitarget start

The error is gone and your clients should be able to discover/mount the iscsi disk.

I'm also seeing iscsitarget fail to start up with similar errors.

Building from the debian 1.4.20.1 packages seems to work.for me, I suggest we just sync those.

I'd prefer to take 1.4.20.2-1 - the packaging is better (correct configuration file paths), and there's a security fix. Plus we need to merge rather than sync as there's an Ubuntu change we need to keep. However, I can't do this until the kernel side is updated. I've filed bug 618902 for this.

This bug was fixed in the package iscsitarget - 1.4.20.2-1ubuntu1

---------------
iscsitarget (1.4.20.2-1ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian (update to 1.4.20.2 in conjunction with recent
    kernel changes fixes LP: #604087). Remaining changes:
    - If module unloading fails after stopping ietd, report it but still
      exit zero since this doesn't justify causing package operations to
      fail.
  * Install README.initiators and README.mcs (LP: #606068).

iscsitarget (1.4.20.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New Upstream Bug Fix Release
  * Fix incorrect path installation. Correct path is /etc/iet/
  * Update Standards Version to 3.9.1 (No changes required)
  * Add DKMS support for iscsitarget kernel module building
  * Add iscsitarget-dkms to Suggests
  * Change PID_FILE to ietd.pid. This was causing the ietd daemon to not
    be killed. Not very sure, perhaps upstream must have changed to ietd.pid
    from iscsi_trgt.pid (Closes: #589738)

iscsitarget (1.4.20.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Change address to my official Debian address and remove the DMUA flag
  * Handle older kernel versions patches that upstream still supports. This
    should allow compiling iscsitarget with older kernels now.
    (Closes: #581200)
  * Drop initiators.deny file in further installations which is already
    deprecated upstream
  * Switch config files directory to /etc/ietd as upstream recommends it and
    document this change in NEWS.Debian
  * Add post-installation script to handle migration of old config file to the
    new location

iscsitarget (1.4.20.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New Upstream Bugfix Release
  * Switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format

iscsitarget (1.4.20-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Philipp Hug ]
  * This package is group maintained now
  * Changed maintainer to alioth project mailing list

  [ Ritesh Raj Sarraf ]
  * New Upstream Release (Closes: #566509)
  * Add myself to Uploaders
  * LSB-ize the iscsitarget init script (Closes: #506588, #546477)
  * Add misc:Depends
  * Bump Standards Version. (No Changes Required)
  * Add DM Upload: yes
  * Add debian/source/format specifying the source format
  * Explain a little more about iscsitarget-module package and how it is
    made available, in README.Debian
  * Add Vcs headers
