I'm running CENTOS 7 connecting to an iSCSI Target with 2 LUNS. I'm able to connect to the Target with no issues. Executing the command "sudo fdisk -l" shows two new devices "/dev/sdd" & "/dev/sde".

However, when I reboot my system it increases the number of devices by 2/two. Not only do I see still see "/dev/sdd", "/dev/sde" I also have 2/two additional devices showing: "/dev/sdf" & "/dev/sdg" which have not been added.

It appears that when the reboots occurs the iscsiadm command is logging on to the Target again and adding the LUNS a second time as "/dev/sdf" & "/dev/sdg", WHY?

What else be causing this to occur? I can successfully remove them and everything is fine but they should not be occurring in the first place. Is there some additional parameter that needs to be include with the iscsiadm command to prevent this from occurring?

Thanks

I haven't really played with iscsi. However, it is possible to have 2 or more paths to the same SCSI disk. I'm wondering if that is what is occurring here?

This page has discussion about multiple paths with iscsi so may be of some help.

Another idea: It is possible that a drive that was say /dev/sdi on one boot becomes say /dev/sdp on the next. Did you do something to make the the sdd and sde names get created manually on each boot (e.g. with udev rules)? If so is it possible the sdf and sdg names were created by the boot while the sdd and sde were created by your rules?
