I have my iSCSI working great but I just used plain files. I figured I would try to do it properly.
I first configured a data set called iSCSI and then I tried to create a ZVOL under that and I called it extent0
mainvol\iSCSI (dataset )
mainvol\iSCSI\extent0 ( 2TB zvol )
when I was creating my extents in iSCSI sharing, I selected DEVICE instead of FILE and it found my zvol.
all was working just fine, I connected with a windows PC, formatted the drive and then tried to use it.
it copied maybe 1G of data then the network speed went to near ZERO.
all I can says is that there was no file created called extent0 so I have no idea where the data went,
the NAS GUI slowed down and was becoming unresponsive until I delete the ZVOL. Once the ZVOL was deleted the GUI snapped back to life.
Is there something I did wrong when creating the ZVOL, I mean, should I have manually created a file for the ZVOL to be connected to?
Am I just using the concept of a zvol wrong?
