[Bug 1931455] Re: open-iscsi fails to create nodes directory

[Athos Ribeiro]

Hi Logan,

Thank you for reporting this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better.

The described behavior was introduced intentionally as a fix for
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-iscsi/+bug/1576341 so the
service would not run when nodes are not defined and no session exists.

Since it seems likely to me that this is a local configuration problem,
rather than a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as 'Incomplete'.

However, if you believe that this is really a bug in Ubuntu, then we
would be grateful if you would provide a more complete description of
the problem, explaining why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather
than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status
back to "New".

For local configuration issues, you can find assistance here:

** Changed in: open-iscsi (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
  open-iscsi fails to create nodes directory

Status in open-iscsi package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  open-iscsi will not run without the nodes directory, but the nodes
  directory is created and populated by the open-iscsi service.
  Chicken/Egg.

  Mitigated by creating and populating the nodes with junk directories
  to be deleted later:

  linuxsudoer at banana01ubu:/etc/iscsi$ sudo systemctl status open-iscsi.service
  ● open-iscsi.service - Login to default iSCSI targets
       Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/open-iscsi.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
       Active: inactive (dead)
