It is safer to just do

iscsiadm -m node -T target -p ip:port -o delete

for the ones you do not want.

Is this using the init script from the open-iscsi tarball or one from 
Ubuntu? Does Ubuntu have a iscsi package now (we got 2 Ubuntu bug 
reports this week and zero for months)?

Could you send the init script? What kernel are you using?

It may be that when you did the restart sessions did not get cleaned up 
right or it might just be that you are using a older open-iscsi version 
that does not support a newer kernel due to sysfs changes.

I will try to compile it here. I think I have a older Ubuntu setup though.
