Doc Text:
Previously, the targetcli utility removed storage objects under certain conditions. This happened when the volume hosting the storage objects was down and the user restored target configuration with the command "targetcli restoreconfig". With this update, configuration is now saved at a block granularity, and, as a result, the described problem no longer occurs.
