Hi - is an iscsi root device a supported configuration setup with F16
and
systemd? I asked on #systemd, and got pointed here.
We're using dracut to boot diskless systems with root devices on iscsi. This
works fine for booting using Fedora 16 and systemd.
Unfortunately, on shutdown the system hangs. It stops the network interface
before mounting the root device read-only or stopping the iscsi service
(leaving the fedora iscsi target in a confused state too). On Fedora 14,
this worked fine with the old fashioned init system.
In the old init system you used to be able to put a "_netdev" flag in fstab,
which would fix this problem. This doesn't seem to work now.
What are you using for networking - the old network service or
NetworkManager?
