Share a Changer ?

[Guest]

Hi,

I got a cheap modable CD Changer at Ebay - Now I modded it to support DVD

I know it's possible to support the DVD Rom inside the Changer (It's got it's own ID) but is it possible to share the Changer too ? It doesn't show up in the List of physical devices but it's shown in the Windows DeviceManager as unknown Media Changer. Btw It's a Kodak Digital Science 144 Changer.

Thanks
Stefan

You may try the following directive:

[devices]
add \\.\Changer0

Try different numbers 1, 2, etc. if the line above doesn't help.

Yes works ! Thats cool - Now I need a good and reliable Linux Initiator to get the Chnager and the DVD usable on my HTPC Linux Box

Is UNH a good sollution ?

Thanks

Yes. Intel iSCSI initiator would be also working soon

Hi,

what di you mean by "soon" ?? is it not possible at the moment ??

could you give me advice for windows and linux which initiator should work with : Changer, DVD-ROM (including authentisation to css encrytion)

Thanks

UNH for Linux works fine, Intel has some issues but we'll have a workaround soon.

I'd recommend using UNH for Linux and either StarPort (our own iSCSI initiator) for Windows or MS one. However StarPort should be faster.

Hi Alex, hi Anton

I still have some trouble using the changer and the dvdrom on the remote side. It looks like the trouble starts when the application tries to use some exotic IOCTL's to controll the chager or authenticate to the dvd-rom to deCSS the DVD.

Maybe I've done something completely wrong or the Idea of sharing the changer and the dvd-rom is just impossible. Here are some log excepts when I've tried to connect from unh to share the DVD and than the CHANGER :

Hi Stefan,

I still have some trouble using the changer and the dvdrom on the remote side. It looks like the trouble starts when the application tries to use some exotic IOCTL's to controll the chager or authenticate to the dvd-rom to deCSS the DVD.

Well, a SCSI command just fails while executed by the device. I am trying to understand why... The only anomaly I see now is too small timeout - 2 seconds. Have you added -timeout:2 parameter for \\.\Changer0? If so try to change it to -timeout:108000. If not then there is a bug in StarWind.

Hi Alex,

I've added now the timeout parm. here the log from the startup:

but when I load the kernel module on linux to control and therefore first initialize the changer I get this on the StarWind side:

Hi,

Could you write me on lx@rocketdivision.com? I will send you an updated version.

We found one obvious bug the is fixed already and lines with "***ERROR***" look suspicious in your log. I will try to find out what do they mean.

Hi Stefan,

Could you please download the recent UNH iSCSI initiator sources?
Fro mthe log I can see you use:

scsi0 : UNH-IOL iSCSI Initiator. RPM: unh_iscsi-1.4-02_dev. Kernel: 2.6.8-rc3. Built on Do Aug 5 22:47:09 CEST 2004.

The version 1.4.2 you are using is too outdated.
At least UNH iSCSI v1.5.3 is available now.
I guess the recent version includes a lot of bug fixes and should be
compatible with the recent 2.6 Linux kernels.

I suspect the errors like:

scsi_to_iscsi:833:/usr/src/unh-iscsi/src/initiator/iscsi_initiator.c: ***ERROR*** request_bufflen 256 not zero when sc_data_direction 0 not READ or WRITE

are reported because of using the old iSCSI initiator modules with much newer Linux kernel.

Quote from e-mail:

very good new ! I can controll the changer - watch dvd's (even encrypted) you did a really nice job ... WELL DONE ..

I've no more error messages in the StarWind.Log.

Thank you very much and I wish you very much success with your product.

Hi Alex,

the unh version I using is current.cvs It looks like they didn't change the version.h in cvs - only in release

Thanks again
Stefan

P.S. getting the changer to run as a target under linux isn't easy

Hold on. There should be StarWind for Linux released late September - early October. I think it would change the way iSCSI target software works under Linux dramatically

Hey Anton,

this sounds interesting - If you like I would participate as beta tester. Alex allready got my Emailadress.

Thanks
Stefan
