[Pkg-iscsi-maintainers] Bug#687925: iscsitarget: iSCSI target administration utility (ietadm) not detecting inactive sessions

[Loic Dachary]

Package: iscsitarget
Severity: critical

Dear Maintainer,

   * When deploying OpenStack ( package nova-volume specifically ) as
     instructed in http://wiki.debian.org/OpenStackHowto, it created
     iscsi sessions to access LVM disks.

   * I was unable to delete the nova volumes because the inactive
     iscsi sessions were not detected.

   * The only way to get rid of the inactive sessions was to reboot the machine.

   * I expected the inactive sessions to be detected and the nova
     volumes to be removed.

The severity is set to critical because this bug makes the package
nova-volume unusable : it can only create volumes and cannot delete
them.

The problem is exactly as described at

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iscsitarget/+bug/967984

and can be reproduced by following the instructions in this bug report.
