  Hi,

I tried to export file from btrfs volume using iSCSI target.
As soon as some initiator have read it over network, server
oopsed: http://www.kerneloops.org/submitresult.php?number=557979
 Kernel is Fedora's 2.6.29.6-213.fc11.x86_64. I'm aware that
target iSCSI functionality is out-of-tree (I'm using iscsitarget-0.4.17-3),
so it may not be safe. But is there any known incompatibility
between iscsi-target and btrfs?

  Full oops follows:

Sorry, I don't know of any problems between btrfs and iscsi.  Is the
iscsi target configured to use linux aio?  That could be the problem.

  I'm not sure, I'm a mere user. This target software seems to read
files from kernelspace, which as I understand is frowned upon.
  If you are interested, sourcecode is at http://iscsitarget.sourceforge.net/
Ooops occured in fileio_make_request(), in iscsitarget-0.4.17/kernel/file-io.c
file.

Have you tried other target implementations, for example tgt[1] or scst[2]?

 From experience, I have to say iscsitarget has a couple of serious 
instability problems (at least it was the case about a year ago, could 
be that the things improved).

iscsitarget is a kernel-space implementation. I guess that it plays
with the vfs in a wrong way. It's better to ask it on iscsitarget
mailing list.

tgt (Tomasz Chmielewski recommended) is a user-space
implementation. It should work with btrfs.

  FTR: tgt works fine with btrfs. Using iscsitarget was a mistake, but it
was only hit in "yum search iscsi target". tgt package name in Fedora is
scsi-target-utils.
