This guide walks you through configuring Linux file‑sharing services—including VSFTPD for FTP, Samba for SMB/CIFS, NFS for network file systems, and iSCSI for block‑level storage—covering installation, security options, client access, and automatic mounting.
This comprehensive guide walks you through configuring Linux file‑sharing services—including anonymous and authenticated VSFTPD, mixed‑mode FTP, virtual users, SSL‑encrypted transfers, Samba shares, NFS exports, and iSCSI targets—covering installation, configuration files, firewall settings, user management, and client mounting procedures.
This guide presents practical Linux and vSphere techniques—including using rsync for rapid bulk file deletion, detecting newly added iSCSI disks without reboot, safeguarding rm commands, mounting remote filesystems with SSHFS, and quickly adding users to supplementary groups via gpasswd—to boost operational efficiency.
This guide walks through moving a large iSCSI multipath LVM/XFS volume from one Linux server to another, detailing each command, the troubleshooting of a superblock error caused by a typo in /etc/fstab, and best‑practice tips to avoid similar pitfalls.
This article shares practical Linux and Vsphere techniques—including using rsync for rapid bulk deletions, detecting new iSCSI disks without reboot, safeguarding rm commands, mounting remote filesystems with SSHFS, and adding users to supplementary groups via gpasswd—to streamline daily operations.
Alibaba’s open‑source DADI project introduces the overlaybd image format, enabling on‑demand block‑level reads that dramatically cut container cold‑start times, with a layered architecture, iSCSI‑backed storage, ZFile compression, and a roadmap toward OCI standardization.
This article walks through turning an old 2009 laptop into a disk‑less Volumio player by configuring iSCSI network boot, covering BIOS/UEFI basics, PXE/iPXE workflow, MBR vs GPT partitioning, bootloader setup, initrd customization, and troubleshooting tips.
This article provides a comprehensive overview of modern storage systems, covering hardware components, storage software, networking protocols like iSCSI, the roles of SAN and NAS, RAID configurations, hot spares, deduplication, snapshots, remote replication, and disaster recovery strategies.
This article explains the three main storage architectures—Direct Attached Storage (DAS), Network Attached Storage (NAS), and Storage Area Network (SAN)—and compares their protocols, scaling methods, caching policies, RAID levels, LUN concepts, and core Linux block I/O structures.
The article explains how to integrate the open‑source Ceph storage system with Windows using the Ceph Object Gateway or SUSE Enterprise Storage iSCSI target, describes Ceph’s architecture and access methods, and discusses file‑sharing options such as NFS and RBD.
This article explains the fundamentals of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), its frame format, key hardware components such as CAN and CNS, the reasons iSCSI initially lagged behind FC, and the classification and functions of various FCoE switches.
The guide, authored by Microsoft MVP Li Sida, walks through installing the Windows Server 2012 R2 iSCSI Server role, configuring MPIO, creating quorum, data, and spare virtual disks, and connecting two SQL nodes to shared storage on Tencent Cloud to complete a SQL Cluster deployment.
This article examines the kernel‑mode iSCSI Enterprise Target (IET), detailing its component modules (ietadm, ietd, iscsi_trgt), the interaction flow between initiators and the target, and the internal I/O processing pipeline, including thread allocation, work queues, and backend storage handling.
