Hello Matt,

Good to read your feedback. When you have multipath AND iscsi, the error
propagation timeout can be given by one or both, that is why I explained
both. This issue is not an iscsi or multipath problem, it is a systemd
problem related to the fact that the network is removed before the disks
are unmounted. Good to know you don't have containers, that is something
that could hold the disk superblock reference as well (even not having
containers, filesystems mounted by _netdev can hold reference by
different mount namespaces started by systemd itself, not the case
here).

Could you do me a favor. Are you reproducing this issue in a constant
basis ? If you are, could you please reduce your replacement_timeout to
0 and see if you can reproduce it again ? Please be aware that, after
changing replacement_timeout = 0 in iscsid.conf, you will have to change
the parameter for the disks already discovered:

## example

Change iscsid.conf AND:

$ sudo iscsiadm -m node
192.168.48.1:3260,1 iqn.2017.tgtd:tid2.lun
192.168.48.1:3260,1 iqn.2017.tgtd:tid1.lun

$ sudo iscsiadm -m node -o show | grep node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 20
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 20

$ sudo iscsiadm -m node -o update -n node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout -v 0
$ sudo iscsiadm -m node -o show | grep node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 0
node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout = 0

This will cause the I/O errors to be propagated right away - when
systemd disconnects the interface - and cause the later umount - done by
other systemd service - to succeed without waiting for pagecache timeout
+ iscsi timeout (20 for you). Hopefully the "0" will be fast enough to
make systemd to continue all the times.

Could you please let me know if it mitigates the issue ? If it does,
I'll work in the actual fix. This will just confirm hypothesis and help
in diagnose (and serve as a workaround if anyone cares).

Thank you
-Rafael
