Bug details

Describe the bug

The iscsi state fails on Archliux (travis and realtime). https://travis-ci.com/github/noelmcloughlin/iscsi-formula/jobs/320857106

       Summary for local
       -------------
       Succeeded: 68 (changed=49)
       Failed:    11
       -------------
       Total states run:     79
       Total run time:   93.135 s

[vagrant@arch ~]$ uptime
 13:10:50 up 2 days,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.01

Following a reboot, the same iscsi states work 100%. On CentOS only one service.running state fails => this can be addressed for Travis.

Steps to reproduce the bug

Expected behaviour

After reboot..

cloning iscsi-formula from saltstack-formulas ...

local:
    ----------
    base:
        - users
        - iscsi
run salt: this takes a while, please be patient ...
-------------
Succeeded: 52 (changed=15)
Failed:     0
-------------

[vagrant@arch ~]$ uptime
 13:30:50 up 15 min,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.01

Additional context

This could be option? https://github.com/error10/kexec-reboot

[noelmcloughlin]

Setting iscsi.target.enabled: false skips service.running for target service. That is the best solution for CentOS/Travis. Testing that. update - that worked for CentOS!!

Test-kitchen has support for enduring reboots initiated by a Chef provisioner.

Could this work with kitchen-salt?

@noelmcloughlin It doesn't look like it. Best to ask in an issue there:
