iscsi_initiator errno=61

[d0hboy]

Hi folks -- after configuration of some iSCSI targets pointing to volumes, I noticed that rebooting the NAS4free server would result in and endless startup loop below. I'm showing the manual command because I can replicate it at will.

Code: Select all

box:/etc/rc.d# ./iscsi_initiator start
Starting iscsi_initiator.
errno=61
connect: Connection refused
errno=61
connect: Connection refused
...

If I press Ctrl-C at the local console, it would happily continue .
Editing the /var/rc.conf line:
iscsi_initiator_enable="YES"
to
iscsi_initiator_enable="NO"

..wouldn't work, as it appears the value gets reset to "YES" automatically by nas4free each reboot.

My iscsi shares are otherwise listable and connectable, so I'm trying to find out what /var/log file i should be looking at . Has anybody seen this iscsi_initiator errno=61 code??

enyone more that can confirm this?.

Please can anyone try to do minidlna_enable=No and test if still load? ( minidlna or what other package that is used)

I detect the same problem in a jail , I change kissdx_enable to NO and still is launch on start up.

this outpu is after change to No and reset the NAS. and you can see that PID 3837 is kissdx running.

Why is it running if I configure rc.conf to NO?

Hi,

If I press Ctrl-C at the local console, it would happily continue .
Editing the /var/rc.conf line:
iscsi_initiator_enable="YES"
to
iscsi_initiator_enable="NO"

..wouldn't work, as it appears the value gets reset to "YES" automatically by nas4free each reboot.

What version did you use? Early verison does not wait network starts. Try 9.1.0.1.531 if you didn't test with it.
I did'n test. but If you want to start it manually, you may use "PreInit" type command script from System|Advanced|Command scripts like this:

/usr/local/sbin/rconf attribute set iscsi_initiator_enable NO

Thanks, I gave the pre-init command (which I believe did the same thing as what I was manually editing by hand) a try, but each time, Nas4free appeared to overwrite /etc/rc.conf with iscsi_initiator_enable="YES".
raulfg3: yes, that's the same issue you and I both have, not being able to commit any changes to /etc/rc.conf through reboots. I've read somewhere else that you need to make changes to /conf/base/etc/rc.conf to make these changes stick but haven't pursued it further.

I AM using 9.1.0.1 revision 531 (the latest; started this whole journey a few weeks ago )

Anyway, I found the culprit: I setup a NAS4Free iSCSI initiator (disks -> iscsi initiator -> (+) )to point back to itself back when I was troubleshooting another issue -- circular dependancies. It's too bad that the iscsi_initiator service didn't give me more errors even when I set VERBOSE_LOGGING=ON in /boot/loader.conf.. I would have spotted the error a bit faster. Sigh, FreeBSD.

Apart from that, for future reference, are there any log files to debug the startup & iscsi_initiator process that I missed? I had been looking at:

Code: Select all

/var/etc/iscsi/
/var/log/system.log
/var/log/daemon.log

HELP!!!!
I have a iSCSI target. Configured initiator on itself. Everything worked until reboot.
When loading swears:
...
Starting iscsi_initiator.
errno = 61
connect: Connection refused
errno = 61
connect: Connection refused
...
And so on to infinity. What to do?!!!!
No web access. Tried safe mode - why it restarts after a few seconds of loading.

boot from liveUSB or LiveCd and open a shell and try to remove bad config.
