After the recent python update, it seems targetcli-fb is broken.

Code:
filer ~ # targetcli
targetcli shell version 2.1.51

/> restoreconfig

/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rtslib_fb/root.py:    def restore_from_file(self, restore_file=None, clear_existing=True, abort_on_error=False):

filer ~ # grep -A1 restore_from_file /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/targetcli/*.py
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/targetcli/ui_root.py:        errors = self.rtsroot.restore_from_file(savefile, clear_existing,
/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/targetcli/ui_root.py-                                                target, storage_object)


Seems like a mismatch of targetcli-fb and rtslib version to me. One sends certain arguments to restore_from_file(), but restore_from_file() expects different args.
Hopefully the maintainer can advise or resolve it... otherwise I'll grab it from git and manually install it from outside of portage !

Thanks!

Actually
Code:
targetctl restore
still works fine. Really odd!

A Python script can contain statements that are guaranteed to fail when run, and yet it is not an error until the statement is run. Some invocations of the tool may not execute the faulty statement, in which case they can work normally.

An update of the system package dev-lang/python, or an update of a Python package, possibly performed as a side effect of switching Python versions?

That seems plausible.

The maintainer may not read your forum post. If you want attention from the Gentoo maintainer, you should report a bug.

Why would you do that? Do not bypass the package manager. That will cause you problems later. Fix the package in Portage.

Thanks. I didn't think to look in the Bug Tracker. Looks like there is already a BUG
open for this issue.

and a Pull Request to get the required version of rtslib-fb into the tree

Thanks!

If you are using systemd then you can enable target service
Code:

systemctl enable target

This way the config persists across boots.
However I dont see any target service for openrc in /etc/init.d.
Just "iscsid" which I think is for the initiator.

I don't use systemd.

I have a kind of hacky way to do it on my Gentoo-based NAS.....

Code:
filer ~ # cat /etc/local.d/01targetcli.start
#!/bin/bash

targetctl restore
