Currently istgt does not support on-the-fly reloading of its configurations, which means the administrator has to restart the daemon to make new settings in effect. This is quite inconvenient when istgt is used in conjection with some "sensitive" initiators, for instance, Xen. Fix: The proposed patch adds a new 'reload' verb to the rc.d script. The rest of the patch that implements the underlying functionality was written by Kun Huang, sponsored by Applied Operations, LLC. How-To-Repeat: Do active read-writes from a Xen client and restart istgt.
