<div dir="ltr">Hi, Cong!<div><br></div><div>Well, there is not much to advice from my experience. GlusterFS is FS type storage, while iscsi is blockdevice. You can't export gluster bricks as iscsi targets directrly. At least at this moment.

<p class="MsoNormal">it needs long time as for my storage volume is around 1TB. I have one question about whether there is some way to make gluster volume can be exported as an iScsi target without creating disk files?<u></u><u></u></p>
