Title:
  iscsi boot fails to boot into rootfs

Status in open-iscsi package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in open-iscsi source package in Focal:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  iscsi boot fails to boot into rootfs, due to iscsi root disk is not
  available in time and mount root fails.

  After add 10 secs delay, it can boot into iscsi root disk
  successfully. It seems that 'udevadm settle' is not enough to wait for
  iscsi disk is available.
