This looks like an unknown/unsupported SCSI Peripheral device type in the INQUIRY response data. Is this LU just a sequential access device that is setting those bits to some different value? It would certainly be interesting to see with Ethereal what is in the INQUIRY response data that Linux could possibly not support. :-) > Also, are you planning on updating the docs for the user tools at all? > There are several steps missing in the current README, and the man > page lists some parameters incorrectly and misses other entirely. > There are a couple of things I would like to be accomplished in the near feature for the user tools: 1) Complete documentation of iSCSI Channel Management optertions by way of updated initiator-ctl manual pages and basic HOWTO for iSCSI Logical Unit Management Screnarios for iSCSI SAN Adminstitrators. 2) Initial release of authentication daemon using CHAP, with eventual support for RFC 3720 defined SRP. 3) Work towards supporting the Internet Storage Naming Service (iSNS) standard and assoicated open source implementations for discovery and device information for iSCSI Target Nodes and other storage resources.
