(ARCHIVED) Ubuntu Xenial Image (BSP Kernel)

[benpope81]

I don't know what the iscsi thing is, or why you're having issues with it, or why you'd need it. Start from the source of truth and ask question from there.

Good luck.

Respectfully, it's rational to assume that the manufacturer of a hardware platform is an appropriate "source of truth" for that platform.

I'll download the image from the OP on this thread and try that. I don't see any images in Github (I see build scripts and ancillary components, but not the actual image: https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image).

iscsi is a network block storage service. It's apparently a default component of the Ubuntu server build.

I also do use it (to mount volumes from my NAS on my virtualization hosts) so it's something that I hope I can get operational.

My apologies for my abruptness in my previous post and following; it's not intended to offend, I just have a preference for bullet points than prose.

IMHO it is inappropriate to expect the manufacturer of a very cheap development SBC to be the point of any truth. But that's relative. I get that. I do believe the Pine64 was mis-sold in that regard.

I'm aware of what iscsi is (I know, I exaggerated), and to some extent, how the kernel interface has been abused.

Anyway, moving on, I suspect you'll have better luck with the image in the OP (I'm glad you found it, regardless of my inadvertent misdirection).

Please do ask further specific questions here, or in a new thread if appropriate. There are plenty of guys here smarter than me in this particular arena, but if I can, and I find the time, I am happy to help.

However, if your question is about something like accessing a NAS, you may find askubuntu or serverfault pretty useful resources.

Good luck (not sarcastically).
