[Iscsitarget-devel] Write protected disk

[Damian P. <da...@da...>]

I want to implement write protection in iet. The included patch is my
first attempt, it works with Windows initiators, the disk is recognized
as protected. Unfortunatelly there are a few problems caused by lack of
my knowledge in SCSI and iSCSI topic.

The biggest is that it doesn't work on Linux. Linux tests the write
protect flag only if the device is removable.
Second problem is when I swith the ReadOnly flag on and then restart
iscsi-target, Windows does not recognize that disk is now write
protected, it doesn't send the sense command.

I think both problems are related and could be solved if the disk is
seen as removable.

Can someone give me any hint how to do this?
