StarWind Software

Hi,

Last weekend I've played a little with starwind and linux-iscsi, but I'm a little puzzled with accessing the DVD writer. iscsi-ls shows the ramdisk of starwind but not the dvd writer. The ramdisk has a valid iqn name, but what should be the name for the dvd writer ??

thanks for any help

I would recommend you trying to mount mapped DVD burner from Windows machine in a loopback before doing everything else. I guess you just did not create a device at all.

Hi,

loopback (on the same Windows machine) works perfectly.

ps. also mounting the ramdisk and copying data to it works. (could it be that the DVD writer is locally mounted to the windows machine and therefor not available for a mount from the Linux PC ? Should check that tonight).

Hi Wykat,

Yes, if the DVD writer is mounted locally it can not be used remotely.

StarWind Service writes to the log a lot of useful information. If there is a problem the log can help to find it.
The logs are stored to StarWind\logs directory.

Please send me the log if the problem persists.
