OpenBSD iscsi-target

A while back, I had a random interest to see if FreeBSD could be used as an iSCSI target.  Since FreeNAS could do it, I figured the ability would be built into FreeBSD, but I was wrong.  After a bit of Googling, I found that somebody ported the OpenBSD version of iscsi-target over to FreeBSD.

I decided to play with it a bit, and found that it functioned.  It’s got a few problems though (can’t rehash config files to add/remove lun’s without killing all open connections, and restarting).

My ability to code in c is very weak, but I guess maybe I’ll try to investigate how it works, and see if I can’t at least come up with a patch for that specific thing.  The other problems with the code are way above my head, having to do with authentication, and encryption.

Who knows…

I’m not creative enough for this, and you can’t help me.
