To be useful one also needs to change choose_partition/iscsi/do_option to call iscsi_start() rather than iscsi-start, otherwise you're defining a function that's never called. Also, one needs to define partman-iscsi/initiatorname in the template. See: https://patches.ubuntu.com/p/partman-iscsi/partman-iscsi_40ubuntu3.patch (I was rather hoping I could pull this out of launchpad with git-remote-bzr but I seem not to have got the incatations right -- I'll give that another try to see if I can cherry-pick the relevant commits nicely...) BTW Is there a reason not to also pick up the removal of '-o update' From the Ubuntu patch while we're about it? We seem to have as recent open-iscsi as ubuntu, so presumably also don't need that option. I'd use a here document (<<"!EOF!" ...) rather than all the echos. Also, the -n is superfluos, and is not in line with the [ "$RET" ] usage in the rest of the file. Does the /etc/iscsi/initiatorname.iscsi actually need to be only readable by root? Seems needlessly restrictive to me, but I don't use iscsi.
