Description Andy Grover 2013-06-25 19:05:47 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #910831 +++

Description of problem:
Write in the configuration file a path that don't exist:

<target iqn.2010-12.org.trasno:iscsi.lvm>
backing-store /dev/trasno/windows
backing-store /path/not/exist
</target>

First path exist, and the second one don't exist.  If you start tgtd 
with this configuration it will start correctly without giving a single warning.  Neither it writes anything in /var/log/messages

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Allways.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a config file like the one showed, with one existing path and another that don't exist.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

tgtd is launched without any error/warning, and the backing store that don't exist just don't show up.

Expected results:
At least give a warning somewhere saying that the device don't exist.  Notice that if the file exist, but tgtd is not able to access to it, it already gives an error on /var/log/messages:

Feb 13 17:23:31 trasno tgtd[27313]: tgtd: backed_file_open(92) Could not open /mnt/images/iscsi/f14_64.img, Permission denied
