Hi,
I'm running my Proxmox host as a iSCSI target for some backup purposes. This worked fine in 2.3. But not now when upgrading to 3.0 :(
I use the iscsitarget and iscsitarget-dkms packages. The DKMS packages fails to compile because of missing definitions in linux/blkdev.h:
Apparently the definition of struct blk_plug is missing from the header files. Digging some more I found that /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-20-pve/include/linux/blkdev.h does not define this. But it was there in the new wheezy kernel that came with 3.0 upgrade (/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-4-common/include/linux/blkdev.h).
More checking found that the problem is really in the iscsitarget-dkms package. There is a patch that fixes the problem above, but the patch is for ver 2.6.38 and not applied. But the patch seems to fix the problems so what I did was to modify the /var/lib/dkms/iscsitarget/1.4.20.2/source/dkms.conf file so that the patch is applied.
So it works now; can't understand how I got it working for Proxmox 2.3 :D
Maybe this will help someone
