[Bug 1640422] Re: iscsid.startup setting conflicts with systemd

[Nish Aravamudan]

Hello,

Can you clarify exactly what you are seeing?

a) the default conf file is /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf not /etc/iscsid.conf
(it moved at some point in the past)

b) systemctl is able to control iscsid.service just fine

Can you provide an exact command/test case to show what you mean as the
issue?

Title:
  iscsid.startup setting conflicts with systemd

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Confirmed
Status in open-iscsi package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  iscsid automatically starts when an iscsi tool needs to access it. But
  after the iscsid process started up with the default setting in
  /etc/iscsid.conf, commands to control iscsid via systemd will fail
  since the process is NOT under control of iscsid.service. The default
  is this:

      iscsid.startup = /sbin/iscsid

  I believe the bellow should be the default if we stand on systemd.

      iscsid.startup = /bin/systemctl start iscsid.service

  I am using Ubuntu 16.04.1, kernel 4.4.0-38-generic.

  Package: open-iscsi
  Version: 2.0.873+git0.3b4b4500-14ubuntu3.1
