| If you add a hard disk/USB drive/USB stick/etc. to the computer, it will probably take the /dev/sda spot and your iSCSI disk will be moved to /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc, etc. Using filesystem labels will help in this situation. | If you add a hard disk/USB drive/USB stick/etc. to the computer, it will probably take the /dev/sda spot and your iSCSI disk will be moved to /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc, etc. Using filesystem labels will help in this situation. | ||
| - | ====== FIXME ====== | + | ===== Gentoo will not shut down properly ===== |
| - | Gentoo will not shut down properly. | + | Because an iscsi mount is not recognized as netmount (like nfs) by Gentoo, the system will try to shutdown the network interface during normal shutdown/reboot procedure. This will obviously break the iscsi connection and let the system hang. |
| + | |||
| + | To avoid this the following workaround can be used | ||
| + | add (where eth0 is the interface being used for the iscsi connection): | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 zap</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | to /etc/init.d/local.start (or the start section of /etc/init.d/local depending on your baselayout version). | ||
| + | Doing so will make Gentoo think eth0 is already down, so it wont try to shut it down on halt. All other init-scripts that depend on net will still be invoked to shut them down cleanly, just eth0 itself wont be stopped. | ||
