iscsid fails to start

[Erez Zilber]

Hi,

I suspect that there's a bug related to starting/stopping open-iscsi. I
ran the following script:

#!/bin/bash

loop_cnt=$1

usage="usage: $0 <loop count>"

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then echo $usage; exit 1; fi

if [ -e /etc/init.d/open-iscsi ]; then
        ISCSI_INIT_SCRIPT=/etc/init.d/open-iscsi
else if [ -e /etc/init.d/iscsi ]; then
        ISCSI_INIT_SCRIPT=/etc/init.d/iscsi
fi
fi

for ((i=0;i<$loop_cnt;i++))
do
        date
        echo "Starting open-iscsi ($i)"
        $ISCSI_INIT_SCRIPT start
        echo "Stopping open-iscsi ($i)"
        $ISCSI_INIT_SCRIPT stop
done

At some point, open-iscsi fails to start:

Starting iSCSI initiator service: startproc:  exit status of parent of
/sbin/iscsid: 1
                                                                      done
Stopping open-iscsi (969)
                                                                      done

Then, I tried to start it manually:

seed1:~ # modprobe iscsi_tcp ; modprobe -q ib_iser ; startproc
/sbin/iscsid -c  /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf -p /var/run/iscsi.pid
startproc:  exit status of parent of /sbin/iscsid: 1

I noticed that if I run iscsid in the foreground, it works ok:

seed1:~ # modprobe iscsi_tcp ; modprobe -q ib_iser ; startproc
/sbin/iscsid -c  /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf -p /var/run/iscsi.pid -d8 -f
iscsid: transport class version 2.0-724. iscsid version 2.0-865
iscsid: in ctldev_open
iscsid: created NETLINK_ISCSI socket...
iscsid: InitiatorName==iqn.seed1
iscsid: InitiatorName=iqn.seed1
iscsid: InitiatorAlias=seed1
iscsid: in ctldev_close
iscsid: Max file limits 1024 1024

seed1:~ # iscsid: reaped pid 31483, reap_count now 0

Is this a known bug? BTW - I'm running with 2.6.24-rc5 and userspace
code from commit 7370d142037204b0d6c81066d59916bc812e5090.

Thanks,
Erez
