>Description:
I am trying to mount /usr from an iSCSI partition during boot using iscsid+iscsictl.

I set "iscsid=YES" in /etc/rc.conf, but iscsid fails to run because it needs to link against /usr/lib/libisns.so.0 which is not available until /usr has been mounted.

Are programs in /sbin supposed to be able to run without /usr present? If so, the libisns files should probably be moved from /usr/lib to /lib.

I can work around the problem by copying /usr/lib/libisns* to /lib/:

sunblade$ ldd /sbin/iscsid
/sbin/iscsid:
        -lpthread.1 => /lib/libpthread.so.1
        -lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12
        -lisns.0 => /lib/libisns.so.0
        -lutil.7 => /lib/libutil.so.7

With this fix, I am able to mount /usr from iSCSI before mountcritremote during the boot process.

>How-To-Repeat:
1. Set "iscsid=YES" in /etc/rc.conf.
2. Move /usr out of the way so it isn't available until mountcritremote
3. Reboot

There will be an error from /etc/rc.d/iscsid because /sbin/iscsid can't be executed.

>Fix:
Install /usr/lib/libisns* in /lib instead of /usr/lib.
Alternatively, link this library statically into iscsid.
