Control: tags -1 + confirmed pending I've now implemented this in open-iscsi git. Since root=iscsi:... only gives you a full hard disk, and you might want to partition it and/or use LVM or whatnot, I've also implemented support for
root=iscsi:... root=UUID=... so that the first parameter configures iSCSI and the second parameter is then used by initramfs-tools to mount the partition (regularily).

But at least with a LIO target it appears that if there's just 1 target group iscsistart doesn't really care what you specify, it will pick out the right one. Also, you can still specify the target group (default is 1 anyway, btw.) directly via iscsi_target_group=42 in addition to root= > Note that RFC does not cover username and password, so that would have to > be done outside the spec if needed. I've looked at what dracut does and implemented the same syntax: TARGETSPEC=ip:proto:port:lun:targetname root=iscsi:$TARGETSPEC root=iscsi:user:password@$TARGETSPEC root=iscsi:user:password:initiatoruser:initiatorpassword@$TARGETSPEC (You can still set iscsi_* parameters for user etc.) Additionally, open-iscsi is now added unconditionally to the initramfs, unless you create /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/open-iscsi and set NO_ISCSI_IN_INITRAMFS=yes there. (It's documented in README.Debian.) This is now in git and will be part of the next upload. Regards, Christian
