The same is true for shutdown scripts - since there isn't anything set
up to unmount iscsi volumes you pretty much are going to crash the
system _EVERY_SINGLE_SHUTDOWN_ if you are using open-iscsi, provided you
even managed to get anything mounted in the first place.
For all intents and purposes the open-iscsi package on Debian is
completely useless without significant modifications to the system. To
make open-iscsi usable on Debian I had to:
- significantly change bootup/shutdown order for open-iscsi,
multipath-tools, lvm and networking
- create a copy of unmountfs that unmounts _netdev devices and call it
during shutdown
- attempt to shut down all lvm VG's as part of the above script
- attempt to flush all multipath devices as part of the above script
With these things in place I can now start up and shut down with iSCSI
devices, but it's certainly not pretty! RedHat has had working iSCSI
support since RedHat EL 3. Even better would be to check out how SuSE
handles things as open-iscsi is the initiator of choice in recent SuSE
releases.
