Bug#775778: open-iscsi: Boot with systemd hangs (ordering of init script w.r.t. remote filesystems)

[Christian Seiler]

Hi,

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

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 

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?

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.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to investigate this so thoroughly!

Christian
