32 bits userland and 64 bits kernel woes on x86
Emmanuel Florac
however I just found that the 32 bits userland can't talk to the 64
bits kernel module on x86. I'm currently running a (mostly) 32 bits
userland from Debian Sarge with a homemade 64 bits kernel :
storiq@0[storiq]$ uname -ar
Linux contrebasse 2.6.17.13-storiq64 #1 Thu Oct 19 13:18:27 CEST 2006
x86_64 GNU/Linux
And here's what's happening if I start core-iscsi :
storiq@0[storiq]$ sudo /etc/init.d/iscsi-initiator start
iSCSI Core Stack[1] - Loading Core-iSCSI Initiator: [OK]
iSCSI Core Stack[1] - Starting iSCSI Authentication: [OK]
iSCSI Core Stack[1] - Processing /etc/sysconfig/initiator
iSCSI Channel[0] - **ERROR** - fullinitchan failed! exiting.
iSCSI Channel[1] - Skipping disabled iSCSI CHANNEL
storiq@0[storiq]$ dmesg | tail
NET: Registered protocol family 10

iSCSI: iscsi_can_queue = 128
iSCSI: iscsi_cmd_per_lun = 64
iSCSI: iscsi_sg_tablesize = 32
iSCSI Core Stack[1] - Spawned 4 thread set(s) (8 total threads).

arg(ffec8ee0) on /dev/iscsi
iscsi_ioctl:92: ***ERROR*** Please set iSCSI Initiator Node Name
As you can see from the error message, this looks like a bad match
between the 32 bits and 64 bits data structures. I'd like to know if
anybody has any idea for a possible workaround ?

Hello, Ming, nice to meet you again here :)
probably the same as what we met in iet.
Looks clear to me too :)
which core-iscsi code u use?
Latest stable 1.6.2.9, with 3.5 tools. BTW, the performance is fantastic with iet : 120MB/s write, 90 MB/s read on xfs, on a single gigE link (I couldn't try bonding yet, because my gigE switch won't support it).

yes, it is fast. of course, your HW is not bad i guess.
i will have a look on this.

Actually nothing fantastic, initiator is a simple Shuttle athlon64 3000+ with 1GB ram (your typical PC I guess, not even Vista-ready :) ), the target is a single Xeon 3Ghz server with a 7 SATA drives RAID-5 array .
i will have a look on this.
Are you working on this code too??? Wow :)
