So for my netapp or  cisco boxes)? Today the  discusion dies, so they are going to each  portal to do this.

There are also other things in the linux-iscsi driver does all its own reties/timeout code  outside of the  dirver like we can sometimes retry logins forever which holds up  failover of another path. These are just basic driver fixes. Again, if  for such  comments a couple
