Looks ok. Thanks. For the F-10 final vs update: If someone is installing this for the first time there will be no disks, so how can they get this started? Is there a workaround? Maybe we would want to release note it or note that a fix is going to be released right away in a update. For existing installations with disks there is no regression right?

We can release this as a 0 day update and then hope people who hit troubles try yum update first before looking any further, we can also try to get a release note in about this, hoping people actually read this. Or we can request rel-eng to tag this build into F10-final, then we are sure no F-10 users will get bitten by this. This is your call, I'll happily mail rel-eng or do a 0 day update. Note that if people install iscsi-initiator-utils after installation using yum, they will get the new fixed version no matter which path we choose, and a default install does not include iscsi-initiator-utils. > For existing installations with disks there is no regression right? right. iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.870-0.2.rc1.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.870-0.2.rc1.fc10 This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.870-0.2.rc1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
Created attachment 322818 [details] PATCH: fix iscsiadm auto-starting iscsid does not always work iscsiadm will call "service iscsid start" if iscsid is not running and it needs it, however /etc/rc.d/init.d/iscsid will only start iscsid if disks are configured, so if no disks are configured this does not work. I've attached a patch (to the package / cvsextras) which fixes this by adding a force-start to the initscript, and by making the autostart patch use "service iscsid force-start" instead of "service iscsid start", note this patch thus patches the patch for the latter. Mike, all I need from you is an ack that it is ok to move forward with this change and I'll commit and build. Mike, one question, should this go to F-10 final, or in an update? Since it doesn't affect iscsi using installs I personally think it is ok to do it as an update.
