Hey all. I've prepared a package which I believe addresses these issues: I applied Alex's patch for booting from iscsi, and I juggled the init scripts around such that startup and shutdown handling is much improved. iSCSI filesystems mount on boot if the _netdev option is specified, and all iSCSI filesystems unmount on shutdown before the daemon is shut down (which happens soon enough that it gets a chance to properly shut down). I also upgraded to the 2.0-868-rc1 upstream version (basically only because that's the one I'm using in production on the recommendation of upstream). You can check it out at http://qix.demiurgestudios.com/~moise/open-iscsi/ if you're interested. My package still isn't perfect; things that I know still need to be improved are: * The daemon gets restarted on upgrade, but active iSCSI filesystems aren't unmounted first, so outstanding I/O is lost and the filesystem(s) must be remounted. * LVM still doesn't work properly. Nonetheless I think this package is an improvement. I'd appreciate any testing and feedback anyone can provide. I'm not a Debian developer and this is the second package I've prepared, so I expect that I probably botched some things up. If I did please let me know :-). Thanks!
