Package: targetcli
Version: 3.0+git0.7e32595e-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
The upgrade from targetcli 2.1-1 removes all targets and makes targetcli
unusable.
1. Removing lio-utils disables/removes all targets from the kernel. This is a
serious problem on something like a storage server.
2. Once you can manage to run targetcli (see #XXXXXX), you are greeted with an
error: "This RTSRoot does not exist in configFS."
tarquin bootc # targetcli
This RTSRoot does not exist in configFS.

3. Performing an 'ls' lists no available target modules and only the pscsi
backstore module:
/> ls
o- / .................................................................... [...]
o- backstores ......................................................... [...]
o- pscsi ............................................... [0 Storage Object]
/>
4. When you try to exit, targetcli tries to look in /var/target/policy and
explodes because that directory doesn't exist:
/> exit

/>
5. If you create the directory you still can't exit because of the error
described in point 2:
/> exit
This RTSRoot does not exist in configFS.
/>
The only way to escape this seems to be to kill targetcli from another window.
6. 'service target stop' followed by 'service target start', then re-entering
targetcli allows all the various target types to become available again.
7. Trying to exit at this point (without making any changes) bombs out again:
/> exit

I am now trying to get my targets running again, which I am having to do by
using the bits of targetcli that work and manual changes in
/sys/kernel/config/target. I can't 'savechanges' in targetcli either.
I am not impressed.
HTH,
Chris
