Hello,
I'd like first to thank everyone involved in development and support for OMV for their good job.
So far I'm using 2 Synology NAS @home to provide basic services (CIFS/NFS/iSCSI/Backup) and some Virtualization.
As one of my NAS needs to be "refreshed", I decided to try something more open, and bought an HP Microserver Gen8 upgraded with 8GB and Core i3. OMV3.0.64 is installed on a dedicated 32GB SSD and I've created a R5 (md not hard) based on 4x2TB disks.
I've installed VirtualBox based on ryecoaaron's packages (kernel 4.9.0 bpo) as I need a ProxMox instance running on each NAS just for cluster Quorum purpose (2x physical nodes + 2x virtual nodes) and started to sync data from the "soon to be decommissioned" NAS.
My OMV is about to be ready but I need to configure iSCSI. I've then installed the plugin and went to the target/LUN creation but ... There's no "File IO" option for the LUN, only "Block IO"
I've used the whole disks to create the R5 so I do not have space to create a dedicated volume/device for iSCSI LUNs creation ...
I've tried to manualy create my LUN in "Type=fileio" but it looks like there's a missing module in my kernel:
Mar 6 09:18:17 omv1 iscsitarget[1208]: Starting iSCSI enterprise target service:modprobe: FATAL: Module iscsi_trgt not found.
Mar 6 09:18:17 omv1 iscsitarget[1208]: failed!
root@omv1:~# modprobe iscsi_trgt
modprobe: FATAL: Module iscsi_trgt not found.
Now here's my question:
I want/need to have VirtualBox & iSCSI running on my OMV. I don't realy want to destroy my populated R5 in order to "free" space for iSCSI in Block mode. What do you suggest ?
- Is it possible to free space without destroying the R5 ?
- Is there's a kernel I could use that supports VB 5.1.x and includes iscsi_trgt module ?
- Any chance having "File IO" available in openmediavault-iscsi plugin ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help !
