[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#664604: open-iscsi: No auto-mounting of iscsi devices tagged as _netdev in /etc/fstab

[Philipp Gysin]

Package: open-iscsi
Version: 2.0.871.3-2squeeze1
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze patch


I noticed that the init.d script is not mounting my iscsi device listed in fstab as a _netdev.
The problem seems to be that the properly contacted target is not yet in the /dev tree when mount is called

I added a tiny sleep 0.1 before the mount call and got rid of my problem

Here the patch for /etc/init.d/open-iscsi:
128c128
< 	if mount -a -O _netdev >/dev/null 2>&1; then
---
> 	if sleep 0.1 && mount -a -O _netdev >/dev/null 2>&1; then

Greetings,
Philipp
