Hello, just trying to get iSCSI into a container.

```

```

What does that mean? Seems like attaching the iSCSI works, but not the mount into the container? config:

```
cat iscsi.yml 
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: iscsi-web
spec:
  volumes:
  - name: www
    iscsi:
      targetPortal: "172.9.10.254:3260"
      iqn: "iqn.2004-04.com.qnap:ts-212:iscsi.mbr.d55afc"
      lun: 0
      fsType: ext4
      readOnly: false
  containers:
  - name: web
    image: nginx
    volumeMounts:
    - mountPath: "/usr/share/nginx/html"
      name: www
```

problem solved. Only one of my three nodes had the open-iscsi-package installed. The container started on the other one …
