1 User Mode iSCSI Backend
2 -----------------------
4 Storage pool type: `iscsidirect`
6 This backend provides basically the same functionality as the
7 Open-iSCSI backed, but uses a user-level library (package 'libiscsi2')
10 It should be noted that there are no kernel drivers involved, so this
11 can be viewed as performance optimization. But this comes with the
12 drawback that you cannot use LVM on top of such iSCSI LUN. So you need
13 to manage all space allocations at the storage server side.
18 The user mode iSCSI backend uses the same configuration options as the
21 .Configuration Example ('/etc/pve/storage.cfg')
23 iscsidirect: faststore

31 NOTE: This backend works with VMs only. Containers cannot use this
