| | I wanted to create a script that would e-mail me when it detected a failure in a ZFS storage pool, but to test it I needed a failing zpool. You could create a zpool with a USB hub and some USB memory sticks, and then pull them out as you like, but that involves getting up, something I try to reserve for important things like getting a new cup of tea, or a biscuit. Luckily ZFS has the ability to create pool just from files.

| | Recently I looked into enabling and testing multipath on top of iSCSI for Fedora and Red Hat CoreOS. As part of that process I had the opportunity to learn about iSCSI, which I had never played with before. I'd like to document for my future self how to go about setting up an iSCSI server and how to then access the exported devices from another system. Setting up an iSCSI server First off there are a few good references that were useful when setting this up.
