Correct. > - they can't be properly disconnected any more, because the network is > already disabled. Kind of. There is a kernel timer that gets activated during the logout sequence that waits for up to 120 seconds (or what you have set in node.session.timeo.replacement_timeout) and if the logout sequence hasn't completed releases the kernel resources. > > Most distributions shut down all network interfaces when a "halt" > command is started (i.e., they add "-i" option to the halt command): > > -i: shut down all network interfaces. > > Without this flag, everything should shut down properly, even when it's Right. And this situation will hang the kernel during reboot b/c the SCSI error handlers wait for a logout state condition that never happens. > not possible to logout all sessions earlier (i.e., a diskless machine > started off iSCSI). And the patch I attached in the previous e-mail describes a solution to this. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "open-iscsi" group.
