If it's simply a manner of running a script that blocks until your backstores are available (eg: it's not dynamic callbacks), then it sounds like you want to add a init script for your /etc/rc.local commands, and put it's boot priority ahead of /etc/init.d/target start being invoked. Invoking /etc/init.d/target restart is available too. > Clearing LIO (deleting all backstores, target and LUNS) and then > reinitalizing the LIO with new backstores and LUNS in the rc.local script > are acceptable too, if they can be done entirely from a script.

You can also use python-rtslib directly to create some simple custom scripts invoked by shell scripts too. --nab -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
