One more tidbit to throw on here with regards to shutting down open-
iscsi...
If open-iscsi is not shut down cleanly, it never flushes write caches to
disk... So it absolutely must be shut down properly or we potentially
loose data. I'm talking about caches between us and the physical
storage - i
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: open-iscsi
Many enterprise-class iSCSI systems use multiple portals to access a
single target. For example you can have 2 or 3 different network
pathways to a target, each with its own portal IP. open-iscsi supports
this fine, however the current startu
Not stopping iSCSI on shutdown doesn't actually fix the problem... We
need to make sure that the iSCSI volumes are unmounted and then iSCSI is
shut down properly.
If you watch the shutdown process, you see that all remaining processes
get terminated before filesystems are unmounted. Unfortunately
I found the cause of iSCSI not starting at boot, it's caused by having
/usr on a separate file system. I have opened a new bug here:

The current open-iscsi package puts the iscsid binary into /usr/sbin/
While this works fine for "all in one" partitioned systems, it prevents
open-iscsi from running at boot time, and also prevents an iSCSI-mounted
/usr partition.

This bug is actually much more substantial than just NFS servers as
indicated above. Any service that depends on iSCSI will cause problems.
For instance, if the machine above has its postfix mail queue on an
iSCSI volume, postfix can't shut down since the storage has been ripped
out from under it!
