 open-iscsi does not have any control over the device naming. Udev
 handles this.
 

Mike,

the difference is that the path is now a directory with the link underneath 
that back to the actual device name. Before it was just a standard link. Will 
take a look at udev.

Ah, I see. Check out your distros udev rules too. open-iscsi does not 
distribute any, but some distros might add them. I think udev itself has 
its own iscsi rule, but I am not sure what various distros do.



And I am not sure, but if you updated kernels then it might be due to a 
change in how the core driver model code works and that might throwing 
off the udev rules. Sometimes sysfs might change on the iscsi/scsi/block 
lyaer in a way we have no control over and sometimes older udevs do not 
handle it. And so you might have to update udev.

Ah, I see that you are using Centos in the other mail. Is this bug with 
centos 5.6 too?


What version of open-iscsi are you using? Is it the one that came with 
centos? When you say it changed, what is the previous version you are 
comparing it to?
