At the moment it is possible to export a CD iso through tgt but it is not very flexible.
What I would like to see is that an eject command on the initiator side "ejects" the iso image on the tgt side, effectively replacing the cd iso image by /dev/null or /dev/zero on the backing store. On the initiator side it looks like no cd is inserted now. When, at the target side, I add again a backing store (a new iso cd image) to the cd LUN it will send a CD inserted message up to the initiator. The same can be used for the virtual tapes as it has the same principle (tape ejected/tape inserted). This could then be tied into a cd/tape changer device which could manage a directory containing iso/tape images. In fact you can argue the same for disks, albeit not a standard way of using them, but it would have the same result of inserting a new (SATA/SAS/SCSI) disk to a controller with hotplug insertion. So what do people think of this idea? Albert _______________________________________________ Stgt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/stgt-devel
