To verify the connection, enter iscsictl The system should indicate that the iSCSI target is connected and that da1 is available. Close the Shell. You should be able to use da1 as if it were directly attached until you shutdown or restart the computer. Based on what I have seen, it appears that presenting zvols from the target is the best method in the past, using files was preferred, but now zvols are recommended.
Also, it is important to note that there is no authentication or security e. Please be careful in using the above information and keep in mind that this sort of configuration is not supported. That being said, I am very interested to keep experimenting with this and would appreciate any suggestions or feedback others might have.
I hope that this is helpful. It's super exciting to see how powerful this software is, even when pushing it to do what it isn't meant to. Go FreeNAS! Thanks, everyone. I've been playing around a bit more.
However, there is some delay in connecting, which can cause problems. If I wait without touching anything approximately 1 minute after the initiator finishes booting and after this message appears, I can see da1 in the web interface. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I could make the system reconnect to iSCSI targets seamlessly and automatically at boot, I'd really appreciate any help.

FreeNAS has no problems with reconnecting, or maintaining iscsi connectivity with the target. It also auto-reconnects after short reboots or nightly shut downs of the target machine. I'm using old Thecus Pro as my target, and it is used for Time Machine backups. Thank You :D.

FreeNAS Please confirm or note otherwise. Last edited: Jun 20, Joined Jun 19, Messages 2. Yeah, about the path.. Hadn't went all the way to thoroughly investigate what happens inside, kernel, etc. I know sometimes after correct iscsi release on shutdown, in kernel space, it blocks. Exporting does unmount of that filesystem on post so doesn't get there. Before you ask, the reason for this is deploying a remote synology box and syncing zfs snapshots there.

Loading Comments Next up we need to create an iSCSI target using the portal and initiator we set up. Navigate to the Targets tab and click ADD.
Now click SAVE to create the target. You should be returned to the Targets tab and your new target should be listed. Click the Extents tab and click ADD. Now click SAVE to create the extent. You should be returned to the Extents tab and your new extent should be listed and have been assigned a serial and an NAA. Next we will associate the extent with the iSCSI target we created. Click SAVE to associate the extent with the target.
You should be returned to the Associated Targets tab and see the newly available target. After a short while, the dialog should populate with iSCSI settings. By default, CHAP authentication is disabled. To keep things simple, I will not be covering it in this tutorial.
