[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#645582: /etc/sysctl.d/30-iscsitarget.conf fails on boot "Invalid argument" setting key "net.ipv4.tcp_mem"

[Martin Braure de Calignon]

Package: iscsitarget
Version: 1.4.20.2-6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

on boot with my PC (kernel 3.0.0.2-686-pae), it seems there's a problem during the execution of the sysctl.d/30-iscsitarget script.
in my /var/log/boot, I have the following error:

Setting kernel variables ...error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.ipv4.tcp_mem"

I'm not sure of the consequences of this error on the package.
It's probably just a matter of optimizing tcp options or not.

I can easily reproduce the error by doing:
$>/etc/init.d/procps restart
Setting kernel variables ...error: "Invalid argument" setting key "net.ipv4.tcp_mem"
failed.

if I move temporary the /etc/init.d/ there no more error

$> mv /etc/sysctl.d/30-iscsitarget.conf /tmp
$> /etc/init.d/procps restart
Setting kernel variables ...done.


Cheers,
