The unavailability of the iscsid daemon is not a big problem.

But I would still doubt if that fixes the real problem. -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT - http://www.researchut.com "Necessity is the mother of invention." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I tested it on one of my systems and it works. iscsid is killed during shutdown by sendsigs. I don't know why either, but once iscsid is dead, the kernel will sync the scsi cache and then the iscsi driver cannot connect anymore. > > I change the init script to drop a link to the PID file for iscsid to the > > /run/sendsigs.omit.d and it shuts down properly now. > > > > I've attached the patch, it's only adds 2 lines. > > > > I looked but have no clue at what it does. It places a link to the pid file so that send sigs will not kill it. -- Microsoft has beaten Volkswagen's world record.

Bug#700762: System fails to shutdown due to iscsid being terminated.
Package: open-iscsi Version: 2.0.872-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch I have a test system that boots over iSCSI. If iscsid is killed and the kernel decides to sync the scsi caches, the iSCSI connection fails. I change the init script to drop a link to the PID file for iscsid to the /run/sendsigs.omit.d and it shuts down properly now. I've attached the patch, it's only adds 2 lines. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 3.3.0 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages open-iscsi depends on: ii libc6 2.13-20Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii udev 172-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo open-iscsi recommends no packages. -- no debconf information --- a/open-iscsi 2011-09-14 05:18:39.0 -0400 +++ b/open-iscsi 2013-02-16 21:39:20.0 -0500 @@ -14,6 +15,7 @@ PIDFILE=/var/run/iscsid.pid NAMEFILE=/etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi CONFIGFILE=/etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf +OMITDIR=/run/sendsigs.omit.d [ -x "$DAEMON" ] || exit 0 @@ -97,6 +99,7 @@ modprobe -q iscsi_tcp 2>/dev/null || : modprobe -q ib_iser 2>/dev/null || : start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON + ln -s $PIDFILE $OMITDIR RETVAL=$? log_end_msg $RETVAL
