Oh yeah, there is a tool, lsscsi, that knows all this and hides it
for you.
Do you need a C type of library? I guesss anaconda guys need it
right? lsscsi is just a program, but I think we could libify that to
hide all the nasty scsi sysfs stuff. There also fun driver model
changes that affect scsi where sometimes there are links to devices
and in new kernels it changes, and I do not think anyone wants to
mess with.
For libvirt we prefer to have a C library where ever possible. If that
does not exist though, we will (reluctantly) resort to invoking commands
like lsscsi and parsing their output.
Ok.
Are we shooting for RHEL6/f11 with this or is this a RHEL 5.4 item?
As far as anaconda is concerned we (I) would like to see this for 5.4,
currently we are doing thing like mangling /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf to pass
passwords in, which is far from pretty and quite fragile.
But there is no reason why others should move to libiscsi for 54 too, it barely
touches the main open-iscsi code (it uses it but does not change it).

Hans
