Bug Description

iscsid automatically starts when an iscsi tool needs to access it. But after the iscsid process started up with the default setting in /etc/iscsid.conf, commands to control iscsid via systemd will fail since the process is NOT under control of iscsid.service. The default is this:

    iscsid.startup = /sbin/iscsid

I believe the bellow should be the default if we stand on systemd.

    iscsid.startup = /bin/systemctl start iscsid.service

I am using Ubuntu 16.04.1, kernel 4.4.0-38-generic.

Package: open-iscsi
Version: 2.0.873+git0.3b4b4500-14ubuntu3.1

Hello,

Can you clarify exactly what you are seeing?

a) the default conf file is /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf not /etc/iscsid.conf (it moved at some point in the past)

b) systemctl is able to control iscsid.service just fine

Can you provide an exact command/test case to show what you mean as the issue?
