Public bug reported:
open-iscsi's stop script has within it the following lines:
stop() {
stoptargets
log_daemon_msg "Stopping iSCSI initiator service"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal KILL --exec $DAEMON
rm -f $PIDFILE /lib/init/rw/sendsigs.omit.d/`basename $PIDFILE`
modprobe -r ib_iser 2>/dev/null
modprobe -r iscsi_tcp 2>/dev/null
log_end_msg 0
}
The modprobe -r lines attempt to remove the relevant iscsi modules. I believe
this to be a bug, because there may be other users of those modules besides
open-iscsi. On an upgrade (for instance) and attempt is made to remove those
modules (albeit ignoring errors), and then modprobe them back in again.
However, those modules are not distributed in the open-iscsi package - they are
kernel modules - and open-iscsi has no business removing them as there may be
other users using them in the mean time.
I can see no reason why they are being removed at all.
A simple fix is to remove the two 'modprobe -r' lines from debian/open-
iscsi.init.
