[Bug 1931455] Re: open-iscsi fails to create nodes directory

[Simon Déziel]

As far as I can remember, the open-iscsi.service was not needed to run
the iscsiadm command (on 18.04 and 20.04 at least). Could you share the
full steps to reproduce the issue along with the errors you are getting,
please?

Title:
  open-iscsi fails to create nodes directory

Status in open-iscsi package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  open-iscsi will not run without the nodes directory, but the nodes
  directory is created and populated by the open-iscsi service.
  Chicken/Egg.

  Mitigated by creating and populating the nodes with junk directories
  to be deleted later:

  linuxsudoer at banana01ubu:/etc/iscsi$ sudo systemctl status open-iscsi.service
  ● open-iscsi.service - Login to default iSCSI targets
       Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/open-iscsi.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
       Active: inactive (dead)
    Condition: start condition failed at Tue 2021-06-08 19:05:21 UTC; 25min ago
  ---->        ├─ ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/etc/iscsi/nodes was not met
               └─ ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=|/sys/class/iscsi_session was not met
