LibreELEC not boot from remote ISCSI (Error in mount_flash: iscsistart: Unable to connect to ISCSI target)

  • Use - LibreELEC 9.2.6 for X86_64

    I want boot diskless LibreELEC station from remote iscsi-target. I follow this instruction but loading fails with message: "Error in mount_flash: iscsistart: Unable to connect to ISCSI target"). How i can check my config? and etc... ?

    My be problem in quotes boot=ISCSI in extlinux.conf ???

    My extlinux.config:

    Code
    DEFAULT linux
    PROMPT 0
    
    
    LABEL linux
    KERNEL /KERNEL
    APPEND ip=192.168.0.195 boot=ISCSI='''iscsi_initiator=iqn.client,iscsi_target_name=iqn.2021-01.domain.ru:libreelec,iscsi_target_ip=192.168.0.2,iscai_target_port=3260''',LABEL=System disk=LABEL=Storage quiet

    I try only single quotes,

    Code
    boot=ISCSI='iscsi_initiator=iqn.client,iscsi_target_name=iqn.2021-01.domain.ru:libreelec,iscsi_target_ip=192.168.0.2,iscai_target_port=3260'

    but not heve effect.

    iscaiadm discovering and connetting to taget normally:

    Code
    root@domain:/mnt/disk# iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 192.168.0.2
    192.168.0.2:3260,1 iqn.2021-01.domain.ru:libreelec
    
    root@domain:/mnt/disk# sudo iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2021-01.domain.ru:libreelec -p 192.168.0.2:3260 -l
    Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2021-01.domain.ru:libreelec, portal: 192.168.0.2,3260] (multiple)
    Login to [iface: default, target: iqn.2021-01.domain.ru:libreelec, portal: 192.168.0.2,3260] successful.

    This method work fine (boot over NFS), but i have reason use remote block device over ISCSI/

  • There are only a few tools available in initramfs i.e dmesg to look for errors or ping to check network configuration.

    Most likely the iscsi parameters are not correct.

  • pls be aware that iSCSI is likely dropped after LE10, better use the more modern setup with NFS instead of iSCSI

    Iam back aftr long time )) Yep. This manual useful.I use network boot LE92 on my old nettop with Atom D520+integrated Nvidia ION2. If i rememner this last relese with drivers suport my old video card. Now all work good. But HVEC is slow ))) HW limits. But all other. Thanks for all.
