open-iscsi Package

Dear all,

this is my first post on the forums. I was looking for libreELEC iscsi-support and found:

https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/tree/master/packages/sysutils/open-iscsi

In the release 8.0.2 open-iscsi seems not to be included. Could anybody comment on whether this works in the current release 8.2.1? Backgroud is, that I'd like to access my server's DVD-drive via iSCSI on my Raspi.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Thank you for your quick responses.

@ DaVu: not sure why you think it's not included in 8.0.2

I got the impression, that it is not included in 8.0.2 since the command: iscsiadm is not available on the commandline

@ lrusak: Do I understand it right that availability in "initramfs" means I can use it to boot from an iscsi device and the absence in the "initramfs" is the explanation for the missing iscsiadm command?

Do you see any possibility to get it working not only during boot but also when the system is up and running? As I explained I would like to use it to access a remote DVD-drive.

Thanks again!

Hi Irusak,

that sounds great. Can you make that happen? Are there other people I should talk to about that topic?

Thanks!
