Public bug reported: Whilst trying to debug open-iscsi on Trusty (because it doesn't appear to be allocating a block-device to iSCSI assocaitions out of the box - a separate issue), it became apparent that I could not simply stop the open-iscsi device because when you do, but when no block device is associated with the iscsi session, it tries to un-mount "/" and obviously fails:
shared iscsi # /etc/init.d/open-iscsi stop * Unmounting iscsi-backed filesystems umount: /: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) * Could not unmount / [fail] invoke-rc.d: initscript umountiscsi.sh, action "stop" failed. * Couldn't unmount all iSCSI devices. Cannot stop iSCSI service The script responsible for this it "umountiscsi.sh", and installed as part of the open-iscsi package, and is run on stop by the init script to try and unmount any iscsi volumes before pulling down the iscsi daemon. The section of code responsible is this: for HOST_DIR in /sys/devices/platform/host*; do if ! [ -d $HOST_DIR/iscsi_host* ]; then continue fi for SESSION_DIR in $HOST_DIR/session*; do if ! [ -d $SESSION_DIR/target* ]; then continue fi for BLOCK_FILE in $SESSION_DIR/target*/*\:*/block/*; do BLOCK_DEV=`echo "$BLOCK_FILE" | sed 's/.*block\///'` DOS_PARTITIONS="`awk "/^\/dev\/$BLOCK_DEV/ { print \\$2; }" < /proc/mounts`" for DEVICE in $DOS_PARTITIONS; do #log_progress_msg $DEVICE #echo $DEVICE umount $DEVICE exit_status=$? if ! [ $exit_status -eq 0 ]; then umount_fail=1 log_warning_msg "Could not unmount $DEVICE" fi done done done done I attach a very simple patch that fixes this - please include and push upstream. ** Affects: open-iscsi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: patch ** Patch added: "Patch to sanity check the block device returned is valid." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325359/+attachment/4123716/+files/umountiscsi.sh_no_block_association.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1325359 Title: "umountiscsi.sh" tries to unmount "/" root partition on "service open- iscsi stop" command if no block device assigned to iscsi device!
