Re: [Moosefs-users] how to export moosefs to vmware esxi

[youngcow <you...@gm...>]

I have test the solution of iscsi.
I use iscsitarget-1.4.20.2 and install on rhel 5.5 x64. I make a 
file(size 80G on mfs) and share with 2 node ESXi4 but only one ESXi4 can 
use it (VMFS) another ESXi4 can see the lun but it can't use it.

Then I make another file (size 4G) on normal filesystem(ext3 local) and 
share to these machines and two ESXi4 nodes can use it.

I can;t understand these, anyone know the reason ?

Thanks.

the config file is

cat /etc/iet/ietd.conf
User userid superpassword
Target iqn.2011-02.cn.thcic.storage:storage.vmiso
Lun 0 Path=/data/iscsi/vmiso,Type=fileio
Lun 1 Path=/home/data/myiso,Type=fileio


vmiso(lun 0) is on mfs and myiso(lun 1) on ext3.
