Before I waste time on trying to set this up I thought I check my wishlist here first:
I would like to use a RPi4 and attach 2 SSDs via USB.
The system on the SD card should ideally be read-only. Only changed to read-write for manual system updates.
One SSD should host data that is made available via SMB/AFP.
The other SSD to should be made available as iSCSI target.
I want to use this with globalSAN from SNS to create block level backups over the network from my Catalina macOS laptop.
Cherry on top: The data SSD should be backed up when connecting another HD locally and via network to an offsite location.
Potential issues I see:
- IIUC iSCSI support was deprecated/removed in version 4
- Not sure there is much support for the read-only system
- Version 5 does not have any RPi images yet
Any thoughts? Or red flags?
