Yes, you are correct, the 'nofail' option will not work for systems with any system directories (like /var or /usr) on iSCSI when root is _not_ on iSCSI. And I'm equally sure there is no way we can fix this without major restructuring. Reason being that network is started in runlevel 3 (and higher) only, and iscsi requires the network to run. So moving iscsi to the 'boot' runlevel is a no-go. On the other hand 'mkinitrd' considers the root fs _only, and as iSCSI is not required to get the root fs up and running it won't be including it. Of course we might be able to update mkinitrd to include iSCSI setup in these cases, but then the iSCSI setup might be more complicated than just a single connection to a single target, in which case we're bound to fail. So to make this work we need first to update mkinitrd to handle more than one network connected and then update mkinitrd to include iSCSI when /var or /usr is on iSCSI. But this is _not_ something we can do for an already released product.
