      Workaround:

      Description: I didn't see anywhere in the chapter where we mentioned the importance of using _netdev as a mount option for iSCSI devices. As an improvement, I think it should be added as some sort of note like we used to include in RHEL 6 classes. It's also interesting that we don't have students reboot desktopX to check that /iscidisk is persistently mounted. I decided to reboot to check persistence and I found that rebooting takes a long time (several minutes). I've tried this three times with the same results. I eventually have to poweroff the machine "rht-vmctl poweroff desktop" and then start it again "rht-vmctl start desktop". I have attached screenshots of my desktop0/server0 configuration as well as a screenshot of desktop0 as it tries to reboot (and eventually hangs). Has anyone else seen this? Although the lab works (since we don't have students reboot), this definitely seems problematic to me.
