 Posted: Mon Apr 11, 2005 2:07 pm Post subject: iSCSI Target |
 |
|
I have "successfully" install iSCSI Target 0.4.6 from sourceforge. I am also relatively new to Gentoo.
I have to use the command "make KERNELSRC=/usr/src/linux" then "make KERNELSRC=/usr/src/linux install". The first command (as I understand it) patches the kernel and the second command compiles the code to create the daemons and scripts.
What is odd is that any time I recompile my kernel, I have to recompile the iscsi target code.
I'm not clear on why this happens. The code was not written specifically for gentoo I know. I also cannot use rc-status because the script is written for bash and does not use the start-stop-daemon. Any thoughts/help would be appreciated. |

davesil2,
| Code: | | make KERNELSRC=/usr/src/linux |
configutes and compiles the code against the kernel at /usr/src/linux
| Code: | | make KERNELSRC=/usr/src/linux install |
installs the code in /lib/modules/<kernel-ver>/... somewhere.
Hence at every kernel change you need to do it again. iSCSI looks like it involves external kernel module(s), which drop out when the kernel is rebuilt.
