Package: vblade-persist
Version: 0.6-2
Severity: grave

After calling

# vblade-persist setup 1 1 lo /path/to/file
# vblade-persist start 1 1

a symlink (/dev/etherd/e1.1 -> /path/to/file) is created from the script
/usr/share/vblade-persist/vblade-run. This is problematic: /dev/etherd
is the directory in which the Linux kernel-based AoE initiator keeps its
device nodes.

If a machine acts both as AoE initiator and target, the device node
created by a kernel driver may be clobbered by vblade-persist starting
or stopping a target.

After briefly looking at the scripts, I'm not aware of any technical
reason for these symlinks. Please remove creation and removal of the
symlinks or find another spot (e.g. /var/run/vblade-persist/ ?) for
them.

Cheers,
-Hilko
