Gents,
  Imagine the following scenario:

   - ESX 3.5 sees iSCSI lun from Openfiler (2.2)
   - Create a snapshot of this logical volume like:
   lvcreate -L200G -s -n esxsnapshot /dev/volumegroup/storage
   - Replicate this snapshot via dd on another volume (which is also
   being served by iSCSI via OpenFiler)
   dd bs=8M if=/dev/volumegroup/esxsnapshot of=/dev/volumegroup/restore
   - /dev/volumegroup/restore and /dev/volumegroup/storage are of
   identical size, and were created in the same manner via the Openfiler gui.
   - This is being done for backup/restore purposes...

  Now, when I rescan the ESX Storage adapter (after tweaking ietd.conf on
Openfiler and increasing LUN ID), I see the "restore" iscsi LUN, however,
ESX thinks its empty.

  Where is the mistake?

THANKS!!!

Vasiliy
