open-iscsi-2.0.865.4 ebuild

Introduction

I've been frustrated at work recently with the lack of iSCSI support for Gentoo, and decided to write an ebuild for the newest version of open-iscsi. It's mostly done, but I still need to finish testing it on one of our boxes. I'll play with automounting a little bit, and see what I can come up with.

Download

To download the ebuild directory into your overlay it is easiest to use subversion. Simply use subversion to check out the trunk of the ebuild directory:

svn co http://www.alunduil.com/svn/portage/trunk/portage/sys-block/open-iscsi

For instructions on setting up an overly the Gentoo wiki has a good introduction. Also, the official Gentoo documentation can give guidance on editing and contributing to Gentoo.

Install

Once the overlay, and everything is in place you should be able to simply type emerge open-iscsi.

Description

Open-iSCSI project is a high performance, transport independent, multi-platform implementation of RFC3720.

Bugs

  • No automount supported yet.
  • Initiator name needs to be generated.

If bugs are found with the ebuild please email Alex Brandt with a bugreport.
