Bug Description
This happens consistently both on a physical machine and a virtual machine. Both were fresh 12.04 installs, and the VM has has only ISCSITARGET installed. Server seems to run fine for a couple of days, but then crashes with this error. The LUNs are large (larger than 5TB each) and the problem began to manifest as the data stored started to exceed about 3.5TB. Now it's happening every few days which is unacceptable in a server.

Well, because no-one in the community seems to care; it seems the fix for this problem is to switch to SCST; http://
Seriously, this level of non-support is really a problem for people actively trying to make Ubuntu a player in the enterprise. If you wish to see it relegated to a non-entity or maybe a "play desktop" box then this is the right way to go about it. Refusing to even acknowledge what is a show-stopper bug is a big problem.
Under identical loads, SCST works wonderfully.
