Is hotplugd the preferred way to accomplish this?
Yeah, the documentation is not great. You need to add 'net' to the mount options in /etc/fstab for iscsi drives. Then our rc script will do the right thing and mount these drives late (after iscsid started). <duid>.a /mnt/test ffs rw,noatime,nodev,nosuid,net 1 2 With that it should work. You can not use iscsi for /, /usr, /var but it works for /home or /var/www. -- :wq Claudio
