January 11, 201115 yr Author Maybe you can explain in more detail what your issues are and some of the very experienced Mac users/unRAID users can offer alternative suggestions. Okay, so stepping back and looking at the actual issues I was hoping to resolve with iSCSI: iTunes can't complete a 'consolidate' library operation - it gets going, and then reports a required file cannot be found. I'm running it now, consolidating from the unRAID to a local disk, and it's going fine. The trouble with Aperture is that it doesn't recognise the unRAID volume is the same volume every time. I have the library on a local disk, with referenced masters on unRAID. Most of the time this is fine, but if I start Aperture with the unRAID volume connected, it declares the masters offline (fine) but then won't recconnect the masters when the volume is online again (with or without a restart of Aperture) I have to manually point out where they've 'moved' to. It takes it quite a long time to process all the photo locations again. I think the problem is related to some volume ID. Interestingly, I recently noticed that when I run df on the mac, the AFP filesystem has a changing value: afp_00yVhe00yVhe00yVhe00yVhe-1.2e000007 4883653136 3762084144 1121568992 78% /Volumes/matthew The 000007 number increments after each connection.
January 11, 201115 yr I have started one or 2 other threads to request iSCSI. As mentioned above, it is certainly on the "NOT HAPPENING" list. Maybe we should start a poll thread, and get input from some folks who want it, and they can explain why... It's something I'd love to have.
