ISCSI on ubuntu

Install the necessary packages:
i   iscsitarget                                       - iSCSI Enterprise Target userland tools


Install the iscsi kernel module. Get source from sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/iscsitarget/files/
tar zxvf iscsitarget-1.4.18
make
make kernel
make usr
make install


Configuring ISCSI targets

Edit /etc/ietd.conf
Target iqn.2009-10.ca.comme:storage.iscsi.disk1
	Lun 0 Path=/my/iscsi/disk1,Type=fileio
	Alias LUN0


Edit /etc/initiator.allow
ALL 192.168.x.0/24


Create the disk image
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk1 count=0 obs=1 seek=10G


Enable iscsitarget service in /etc/default/iscsitarget
ISCSITARGET_ENABLE=true


Start iscsitarget service
/etc/init.d/iscsitarget start


Now I hit this error when I use the ubuntu init script:
ietd: unable to create server socket (Address family not supported by protocol) 10 1 6!


So I had to start it on a command line, and it works just fine:
ietd --address=192.168.13.x -f -d2


Mount the target

I'm doing this from a windows client. Just enter the server IP adddress and hit quick connect. Then just do the usual format and stuff. Copying some large file and was able to get ~40bit/sec over fast ethernet. Not that great. Maybe able get more if I'm using a physical partition or even a RAID volume.
