[linux-iscsi-users] linux-iscsi-4.0.2 cannot allocate memory

[Matt V. W. <mat...@br...>]

Hi,

I've had no problems with linux-iscsi-3.6.2 on our kernel 2.4, RH9  
based machines.

I'm now trying to install linux-iscsi-4.0.2 on a 2.6, Gentoo-based  
system.

I had small problems with compiling, which turned out to be due to  
gentoo's hardened-gcc enforcing position-independent code.  I was  
able to compile with -nopie

When I start up the daemon, everything seems fine; dmesg shows that  
iscsi-sfnet has started.

When I try iscsi-ls, however, nothing shows up.

I ran the daemon again with -d 5, and errors began to fill the screen  
with this message for each of our 20+ targets:

May 9 05:45:47 pe750 iscsid[17700]: iSCSI session ioctl failed for  
iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:6-8a0900-24bc00f01-18aff061c8e421b6-target- 
name, Cannot allocate memory: Cannot allocate memory

A quick google of this error only turned up a problem with iscsi-boot  
under Xen.  Since neither of those apply to me, and the problem  
wasn't resolved in that thread, I decided to turn to this mailing list.

Thanks in advance for whatever help you might be able to provide,
