Thanks for this Eoghan. To be clear the work around you mentioned is now the configuration requirement. With the recent reverts users should also see this error message if they haven't configured things properly: Failed to create iscsi target for volume id:volume-xxx... Please ensure your tgtd config file contains 'include /var/lib/cinder/volumes/*' Hopefully this makes things much more clear.
