Comment 1 Mike Christie 2011-03-29 20:27:44 UTC

This bug was brought in from the change that allowed offload drivers to do discovery through the offload engines which was done for offload root boot.

Comment 2 Mike Christie 2011-04-04 05:28:11 UTC

Fixed in iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-18.el6. You can download here:

    New Contents:
When performing SendTargets discovery, the "iface" NIC binding was ignored. Instead, iscsiadm used the network device determined by the "route" command. SendTargets discovery now occurs through the NIC specified in the "iface" binding information.

Comment 8 edwardn 2011-05-18 18:16:27 UTC

Problem was reported and verified about a month and a half ago.  Just for good measure, it has also been verified with the latest iscsi-initiator-utils-6.2.0.872-21.el6. 

1) Discovery is going over offload path
2) Discovery over 100s of targets no longer crashes iscsiadm.
