Hi, I'm in the process of setting up an iSCSI SAN server using Bering-uClibc 3.1-beta1, based on the information in Chapter 16 of the User's Guide. Mostly it's going OK - just the usual problems identifying all of the kernel modules required for my hardware.
One snag is that I've got 4 SATA drives, which the kernel sees as SCSI devices. These would normally be /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd but by default the device files only exist for /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I've tracked down the creation of these files to script /var/lib/lrpkg/root.blk.mk within the initrd.lrp disk image, and by adding extra entries and creating a revised initrd.lrp I've now got the extra 2 device files that I need. Would it be possible for one of the developers to add this enhancement to the standard initrd.lrp files so that I don't have to do a local edit next time? Personally I use the IDE initrd but I guess they should all be kept the same in this respect. Here's the output from "diff -c" on my edited and the original file. I copied the major and minor numbers from another Linux installation (Fedora 7): *** root.blk.mk.orig 2007-09-27 21:48:52.000000000 +0100 --- root.blk.mk 2007-09-25 17:11:28.000000000 +0100 *************** *** 16,21 **** --- 16,23 ---- #SCSI makedevs sda b 8 0 0 8 s >null 2>&1 makedevs sdb b 8 16 0 8 s >null 2>&1 + makedevs sdc b 8 32 0 8 s >null 2>&1 + makedevs sdd b 8 48 0 8 s >null 2>&1 #SCSI CD mknod scd0 b 11 0 >null 2>&1 Thanks, davidMbrooke ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
