Hi, I'm writing documentation and lab exercises on stgt for our Guru Labs Linux training courses. We try to document and show best practices in our courseware. I was looking at the initd.sample file and I see this code: # Start tgtd first. tgtd &>/dev/null RETVAL=$? if [ "$RETVAL" -ne 0 ] ; then echo "Could not start tgtd (is tgtd already running?)" exit 1 fi # Put tgtd into "offline" state until all the targets are configured. # We don't want initiators to (re)connect and fail the connection # if it's not ready. tgtadm --op update --mode sys --name State -v offline Is there a race condition between the initial starting of tgtd telling it to go into the offline state? If so, how about adding a --start-offline or equivalent to the tgtd binary?
