ah, thats like what i was testing before i did the macbook thingReminds me of this project I put togetehr around seven years ago: https://www.instructables.com/NAS-Acces ... d-Devices/
i was re-visiting an old problem, i wanted to see how big of a MSD linux can emulate
to then stress test things, like can the rpi firmware boot from a 4tb usb disk?
so i used iscsi to export a zvol to the pi02, and then expose it via MSD
the last time i did this, the MSD gadget in linux didnt support >32bit block counts, so the gadget layer died with large disks
this time around, the MSD layer worked, but now the iscsi client in linux dies, if the block count exceeds the native word size
had to pop the pi02 into aarch64 mode, and then it had zero troubles exporting a 7 exabyte disk over msd!
the next phase that i havent revisited, is trying to get various things to boot from a 7E disk, what will fail and what will pass?
