[Bug 1802354] Re: iscsid does not run if there are only initramfs initiated targets

[Scott Moser]

in IRC, xnox suggested a SYSTEMD_WANTS as a udev rule.
I'm looking at that solution.

Title:
  iscsid does not run if there are only initramfs initiated targets

Status in open-iscsi package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  It was reported that after the changes made in bug 1755858, the iscsid
  service was not running when initramfs (via iscsi_* params or iBft)
  set up an iscsi mount.

  This seems to not be a problem until there is a restart of the iscsi
  *host* service or some other hiccup.  Thus, in normal testing you will
  not see this issue.
