Hello,
So it seems that running 2.6.18 (stock Debian kernel) with open-iscsi 2.0.730-1etch1 doesn't give me any problems regarding the start and stopping. (Although one iscsid process is still running when I stop it with the init script.) Doing echo - - - > /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan effectively rescans my target, so the need to upgrade to a later version is not necessary (for me). However using a later open-iscsi (2.0.865-1) has some problems on 2.6.18 kernel. It isn't really stopping when I stop it. The devices are still available. Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467390 has some notes about the newer version of open-iscsi not working with kernels below 2.6.25. 2.6.24 is in Debian unstable, without xen for amd64 and I need xen support, so I'm rather stuck with 2.6.18. Stopping open-iscsi also deletes the correct /dev/disk/by-path links. But I'm still having problems with a udev rule I wrote myself: jlyj43j:/etc/udev/rules.d# cat z99_netapp_persistant.rules # This file contains the rules needed to create persistent device names. # we are only interested in add actions for block devices SUBSYSTEM!="block", GOTO="no_volume_id" ACTION!="add", GOTO="no_volume_id" # skip xen virtual hard disks DRIVERS=="vbd", GOTO="no_hardware_id" KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]",\ IMPORT{program}="netappluns $KERNEL" KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", ENV{VFILER}=="?*",ENV{LUN}=="?*",ENV{VOLUME}=="?*",ENV{STATE}=="GOOD", \ SYMLINK+="disk/by-vfiler/$ENV{VFILER}/$ENV{VOLUME}/$ENV{LUN}" # end of processing LABEL="no_volume_id" The problems seems to be a timing issue. My 'netappluns' script is acting on /dev/sdX. But /dev/sdX isn't yet created by udev. Thus failing. Calling udevtrigger manually, after /dev/sdX is created, creates the relevant links. Are there any guidelines for integrating udev with open-iscsi?
