Hi Guys,

I ran into something interesting, and I'm wondering if this can or should 
be fixed.

I setup a second disk pointing to a partition on my drive, which already 
had another partition shared out using open-iscsi.  I found out really 
quickly that no drives show up in Windows 7 computer management console, 
even though it's successful connecting.

So, I ran tgtadm -m target -o show, and got the following...
Target 2: iqn.2012-11.ca.trentonadams:tdadesktop
    System information:
        Driver: iscsi
        State: ready

        127.0.0.1


Luckily, I thought about what the problem might be, seeing the first 
partition was working fine.  The problem that occurred was that I had 
edited the disk partition table while tgtd was using the drive.  Of course 
you get the standard message that a reboot is necessary.  Instead of that, 
I shut down tgtd, opened the disk, and re-wrote the partition table.  After 
restarting tgtd, the output of the above command is now...

        192.168.8.99
        192.168.8.4
        127.0.0.1

So, I guess my question is, should this be considered a "bug"?  Is there 
any way that open-iscsi can notify the client that the disk is not yet 
working?

Thanks.
