[Gluster-users] GlusterFS and iScsi target export

[Yue, Cong]

I am using GlusterFS to make my storage between several servers can be replicated with fault tolerance. And I am doing the similar way as

http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFS_iSCSI

It works well, but in the process of
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk3 bs=2G count=25

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?
For iscsi, it support both disk file and logical unit like /dev/sdb1, but it seems it could not support normal folder like the mount folder from glusterFS.

Can anybody kindly advise?

Thanks,
Cong
