Thanks for reporting this bug. Your example command says '$ip:$port'. Is the iscsid running on the host or in the container? Is $ip the ip of the host?
If $ip is the host ip and you just want iscsiadm in the guest to talk to iscsid on the host, that should work. There are several ways depending on your configuration where netlink sockets might be being attempted. Could you show strace -f output to show exactly which fails? (iscsiadm itself should only fail if you're trying offload, which it doesn't look like you are) Netlink sockets are per-netns, so if you want to be able to connect to a netlink socket from another netns, then something will need to open a socket from the target netns and pass that into the other ns. (This could be arranged with setns, but only from the host). ** Changed in: lxc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1226855 Title: Cannot use open-iscsi inside LXC container To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxc/+bug/1226855/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
