Application won't see sysfs unless initiator creates an iSCSI session and driver can't create an iSCSI session without a tcp port. I was wondering if there is a better way than using IOCTL in this situation? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
