That alone will not help. If you'd like to see 31536000 as the effective
value, you need to:

* Either rediscovery your targets. (look at -o option in the discovery
subcommand of the iscisadm command)
* Or update manually the values under /etc/iscsi/nodes/. There's a
"default" file for every target you discovered, and that database holds
your real replacement timeout.


root-on-multipath is supported in Debian. I just did an installation
yesterday to test it. If your root is already on the iscsi device, it
will just be a matter of installing the multipath-tools-boot package and
updating your initrd image. But disclaimers apply. Keep a working initrd
handy. ;-)
