I've been playing with stgt in a cluster of VMs and have run across one issue. Whenever the target is mounted on a client and I kill the VM running tgtd, when the box comes back up the LUN is missing. The target is still there, just the LUN is gone. If I re-add it everything works fine, but I would like to know why I have to do this. Additionally the target server has 2 targets, and both of them are in active sessions on a client, but its only the target that is actually mounted at the time that is missing after reboot.
