[Bug 1636544] [NEW] SUSE lrbd support for high availability iSCSI gateway and multipath support of Ceph RBD images

[chrone]

Public bug reported:

When will Ubuntu support SUSE lrbd utility to simplify iSCSI management
of Ceph RBD images?

I read their article about LIO using Ceph RBD as iSCSI with multiple
gateway and path support for high availability iSCSI targets. SUSE,
Fedora24, and RHEL7 already support lrbd, but Ubuntu 16.04.1 and 16.10
do not.

It would be great for Ubuntu to have this lrbd utility for exporting
Ceph RBD over LIO iSCSI with with high availability gateway and
multipath IO to Linux, Windows, and VMware.
