Hi Mike, I'd prefer a "compatibility" set over "discovery2", i.e. Instead of replacing "discovery" with "discovery2" (with new semantics), keep the "discovery", but add a "-V 2" (for campatibility version 2). Then the commands could default to "-V 1", allowing the old things to work. At a later time you could default to "-V 2", declaring "-V 1" deprecated. At a still later release you could obsolete "-V 1". Likewise for "-V 3" and so on. Maybe an environment variable to set the compatibility version also would be nice. So old scripts could be run like $ ISCSI_COMPATIBILITY=1 ./old_script.sh Just some thoughts..
