Hi,


On a previous release of OpeniSCSI devices were created in the
format:


lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 8 03:35
ip-172.XXX.XXX.XXX:3260-iscsi-iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:XXX-lun-9 ->
../../sdl


where as with the latest release they are:



[root@kvm02 ~]# ls -l
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-172.XXX.XXX.XXX\:3260-iscsi-iqn.1986-03.com.sun\:02\:XXX-lun-16

total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 19 07:01 block -> ../../../sdd

What is the difference? The "\" by the colons?



is it possible to switch back to the old naming convention or do we
need to modify our in-house scripts to take into account this new
formatting ? --
Thanks, Phil

open-iscsi does not have any control over the device naming. Udev
handles this.


Mike,

the difference is that the path is now a directory with the link
underneath that back to the actual device name. Before it was just a
standard link. Will take a look at udev.

Ah, I see. Check out your distros udev rules too. open-iscsi does not
distribute any, but some distros might add them. I think udev itself has
its own iscsi rule, but I am not sure what various distros do.


Ah, I see that you are using Centos in the other mail. Is this bug with centos 5.6 too?

What version of open-iscsi are you using? Is it the one that came with centos? When you say it changed, what is the previous version you are comparing it to?
