iscsidev.sh has a couple problems: 1. It doesn't run for all iSCSI devices, only those with a vendor string of "IET". Thus it works for e.g. tgtd but not for enterprise iSCSI targets. 2. When it decides not to do anything, it exits 1, producing a series of systemd-udevd log messages at boot: systemd-udevd[636]: Process '/usr/lib/udev/scripts/iscsidev.sh' failed with exit code 1. iscsidev.sh and the corresponding udev rule were added to the ebuild in 2015. However, udev's path_id builtin has supported iSCSI targets -- resulting in exactly the same /dev/disk/by-path links -- since udev 143 in 2009. Thus, it doesn't appear that iscsidev.sh actually accomplishes anything, and bug 556632 and the commit https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo/historical.git/commit/?id=71ec964872431f7677d34e2a33803692e75e416a that added it are uninformative. Consider removing iscsidev.sh and the corresponding udev rule entirely.
