Hi,

Thanks for your response. I just tried it that way.
Only problem is, that it creates a link that links to the same /dev/sda1.
So if I mount the new /dev/iscsi_11 device it will mount again the root 
filesystem.
Are there other possible options? Or isn't it at all possible?

Thanks for some hints.

Regards, Lino
