Thanks, this got me going in the right direction. These unit files seems to be working much better for me, with the startup and shutdown ordering between iscsi, iscsid, and remote-fs mounts sorted out. I'm not sure about the tgtd/targetcli stuff, not sure what the original need there was. </blockquote><div> I just wanted to post a thank you for all of this work, as I was attempting to do some of it myself and making slow progress. I am trying to get open-iscsi version 2.0-873-suse working on openSUSE. In my case open-iscsi-based boot is not working and has not been working for a while. In addition, we have an initrd-based boot, and it looks like that will have to change before iscsid-based booting can work correctly. Because of that, I did not try to get iscsi-root volumes working. My goal was to get normal non-root open-iscsi working with systemd as well as it had with SysV-based init (or better). Toward that end, I have 3 unit files that are working on openSUSE 12.3 that I thought I would share. I am not submitting these as patches, since the whole systemd-integration effort is still in flux. Using the systemd configuration below, iscsid is not started until needed. NOTE: I think we need a new mode in iscsid that goes away when it's work is done, since it can now be socket-activated (i.e. it doesn't have to sit there and wait for work).
