Yes, the problem is that the kernel side uses this path unfortunately.
We could relocate policy and fabric to /var/lib/target, but that would
mean keeping both /lib/target and /var/target around for now, as the
kernel will use that for storing alua metadata in /var/target/alua.
However, what about relocating now, and keeping around a symlink to
/var/target, created in post-install?
This way, as soon as Nic can push the relocation to /var/lib/alua, we
are ready and just have to remove the symlink from packaging.
I am cc'ing the ML on this one.
The manpage, written by Andy, refers to /var/lib/. Which would imply
that Fedora/RHEL and all its derivatives must be using the new path.
I don't see any mention of /var/lib. In any case, RH packaging isn't
creating /var/target/{alua,pr} directories, whose absence will cause PR
ops to fail in 3.11+-based kernels even if they don't use APTPL. I need
to fix that soon.
If I came up with a kernel patch that made the path that ALUA & PR files
were written to settable via configfs, would that also be helpful to you?
Nick, thoughts?
