I disagree with this approach, but I understand now. If Martin would have asked me, I would have suggested that you guys copy the openSUSE approach, even though those are not upstream yet. It would have minimized the amount of re-work you have to do later, IMHO. But that is water over the bridge.
In that case, these changes (to be reviewed) are just yanking out the systemd/iscsid stuff. If that works for you, I see no objection. But I didn't see any addition of iscsistart. Won't that be needed? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
