Package: open-iscsi Version: 2.0.865-1 Followup-For: Bug #423851 This bug is affecting me as well -- it's actually very difficult to come up with a good solution, it seems like. K20 is _way_ too early to shut down iscsi when shutting down the machine; if anything which gets shut down after that (e.g. postfix, samba, mysql, squid) is using a filesystem that's mounted from an iSCSI volume, that filesystem gets "disappeared" when open-iscsi gets shut down, and any further I/O to it just receives an error. The situation on boot is even trickier. A perfect solution would allow iSCSI-backed filesystems to be placed in /etc/fstab and for everything to just work, but /etc/rcS.d/S35mountall.sh comes before /etc/rcS.d/S40networking. What I have locally is dh_installinit -u 'start 45 S . stop 55 0 6 .', which gives me something sane on shutdown but not at startup (since I have to mount the filesystems somehow by hand midway through the boot process, since I have Perforce servers starting at /etc/rc2.d/S20 that are ultimately going to depend on iSCSI being started when they start). I'm not sure if the new dependency-based init scripts help with this at all, but short of doing an NFS-style "mount all iSCSI filesystems at /etc/rcS.d/S46" hack, I don't see a good way to get iSCSI filesystems to mount on boot like it seems that they should. Cheers.
