Developer-iscsi:Notes

This page is a scratchpad of notes on foonas-iscsi development for future reference.

Resources for web interface development

The relevant libraries and resources should be available for these from foonas svn builds:

• lighttpd
• fastcgi developer kit
• GNU cgicc
• SQLite

foonas-iscsi config partition

foonas-iscsi needs to know where its config info it stored. Ideally this will be in flash if available but will also be able to use a small partition on the devices disk(s) or USB media inserted into the device. Here are the ways in which it finds this out in the order of precedence:

• Arguments passed to the kernel via the boot-loader (/proc/cmdline)
• If available on device, from the bootloaders environment variables

If all of these are unavailable or uninitialised then foonas-iscsi should drop into setup mode.
