Hannes reported the following wrt the discovery hack in block-iscsi: --------------------------------------------------------------- The original idea of the discovery was to avoid the STP startup latency. When using static IP addresses, the route to the target IP might not be avialable directly after establishing the connection as stp hasn't finished. During this time the network stack would return -EHOSTUNREACH, which unfortunately is the same error as if the host is unreachable due to other reasons. So the connection would not be established as the in-kernel code couldn't distinguish here. Using discovery would avoid this scenario. However, I believe this issue has been fixed for SLES10 SP3 and SLES11 SP1. So it should work now even without the discovery. --------------------------------------------------------------- I've removed the discovery from block-iscsi for 11.3, SLE11 SP1, and Factory. I'm not sure if it fixed the issue reported here, but I haven't heard back from my suggestions in #3 (first paragraph in particular) for a long time. Closing as fixed now but please reopen if issue persists.
