Hi, [ Reason ] In #1103644 it was reported that booting with rootfs on iSCSI doesn't work. This is caused by lack of /var/lib/iscsi in initramfs stage, required for iscsistart to create /var/lib/iscsi etc as needed. [ Impact ] Without this fix, booting rootfs via iSCSI isn't working with Debian/trixie. [ Tests ] No automated tests, but a customer of mine is affected and manually verified the fixed package. [ Risks ] Trivial one-line change, being a noop if the directory should exist already. [ Checklist ] [x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them [x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable [x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable [ Changes ] A single `mkdir -p /var/lib` before invoking iscsistart in the initramfs script. [ Other info ] I'd like to upload version 2.1.11-1+deb13u1 of open-iscsi, which is prepared also at https://salsa.debian.org/linux-blocks-team/open-iscsi/-/tree/trixie?ref_type=heads Thanks for consideration. regards -mika-
