Sorry for top posting but I'm writing this from a phone.<br>

I can see what you mean, but that doesn't happen to me. The first
part of the delay seems fine, as your system appears to take a
while to log in to iSCSI (both bare metal against a hardware RAID
and VMs against another VM w/ LIO I have here are much faster
btw., at most ~2s here), but after the 'reached remote fs (pre)'
it should find the devices and not time out waiting for them <br>
<br>

My setup too is that of 2 VMs, and the iSCSI target used is LIO.<br>

Is this on LVM (because of /dev/mapper in the output)? If so, did
you configure the VGs in /etc/default/open-iscsi? What does
journalctl -xn say after booting?<br>
<br>

<br>
No. This is not using LVM. That was to be done is the next phase. My
usual tests include iSCSI + Multipath + LVM. But instead, in this
case, I'm using Device Mapper Multipath only, which is a more
commonly used target of the Device Mapper framework.<br>

BTW I can give you root access to a couple of VMs (together with
access to libvirt to watch them boot if you have virt-manager
installed) that demonstrate the problem and my solution. Just send
me an email (privately) with your SSH pubkey signed with your GPG
key in Debian's keyring.<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for taking the time to investigate this so
thoroughly!</blockquote>

Unfortunately, I don't have enough time on weekdays. We can think of
doing that next weekend, if time permits then. Meanwhile, if you can
root cause it, I'd be willing to squeeze out some time to test.<br>
<br>
Keep in mind that this is just 2 LUNs mapped. And with just 2 paths
each. root<br>
The problem will be more severe for users with higher number of LUNs
mapped.<br>
<br>
I've still kept the systemd folks in the loop, hopefully they may be
able to shed some light.<br>
