server: starwind
client:Ms iscsi

i can easily to connect the server firstly,but when i reboot my computer i found that all of the changes when last connect.
for example i am creating a dictionary such as "test",then i reboot my pc, i can find the same dic~ "test" in the virtual partirion.

i want the client can restore all changes when i renconnect the server.what must i to to? sorry my english is so bad~ Smile

chinese -

我可以轻易的在第一次安装后连接上服务器但是我重起机器后发现我上次所作的所有的改动都能保留下来
比如我创建一个test目录然后重新启动PC 我会发现TEST目录在虚拟分区中依然存在！

我想让客户端能够自动恢复[清空]上次所作的所有改动 [读写分离] 我该怎么做？很抱歉我的英语不怎么样~~

3q~

Hi toneal,

If I got it correct you need an iSCSI target that is able to perform auto reset to the previous state on a client reconnect?

The recent StarWind package does not contain such a feature.
But we've implemented an additional plug-in for the service (called IBVolume), that allows to do what you asked.

The plug-in is being tested in our test labs.
We're not sure now will it be a part of the next StarWind release or will be an optional add-on distributed separately.

If you need the the auto-reset feature please contact our management on mailto:[email protected]

It would take some time until we'll complete the full-cycle tests... Do you want to have preview version?

i have the same problem

then i set the --readonly=yes i can't play games in the virtual disk it clued on "medium is protected " because it will create same temp files them play games

then i set readonly=no all of the changes will be saved and i can't open the disk on server

does the "ibv" only support for "img" ? does it support harddisk ?
how to converting ibv to ImageFile ?

my email is

我有同样的问题

当我把只读设置成 yes 时，，游戏不能运行，，因为运行游戏需要生成一些临时文件，

当我把只读设置成 no 时，，客户机所做的更改都会保存下来而且在服务器上就打不开那个用来虚拟的盘了

ibv是不是只支持img 能不能有支持硬盘的读写分离怎么把ibv的内容增加到img文件中

thankyou

1) not just temp file , same games often update

2) i wish ibv support harddisk too

in china ,there are same iscsi software just like ccdisk .every client has a workdirectory,then client reboot ,the workdirectory will be cleared.
the server can designate a "super user" .
"super user" can update the date in the client which was designated
administrator also can update in server directly ,no need to stop the iscsi service.

their web is www.ccdisk.com maybe same referenced infomation for you

demo 10client:

Valery,

Does this mean, if 5 clients connect, they can all have their own reads/writes to a shared image without actually changing the master image, just like this ccdisk does?

I like ccdisk but i'm not too sure about quality control of this chinese product...
