Eagleeyes,<br><br> Use "dd" command to create a file of a required size and add it to loop device. Format it with required filesystem. Such a file can be exported to through iSCSI configuration on your box, keep the file inside GlusterFS. That way you are serving a qsuedo iSCSI device over glusterfs mountpoint. Preferably with Replicate used in GlusterFS this makes it a high availability solution for disk less systems. <br>

<div>You can use glusterfs mount point just like a regular ext3 mount</div>
<div>point. If you want to use that for iscsi target then you will have to</div>
<div>use a regular file residing on glusterfs as the target device.</div>

<div>> Sure, you can use it. mount the iSCSI drive to a mount point and use</div>
<div>> it for "option directory" in the definition of storage/posix volume.</div>
<div>> Do you intend to setup iSCSI + glusterfs in any other way?</div>
