Receiving error on iscsi device: "connectionX:0: detected conn error" when NIC has jumbo frames enabled using RHEL
Issue
- When running a
mkfson an iscsi device we get the following errors:

- I get
detected conn errormessages in the logs when using iSCSI connections when I have jumbo frames enabled, but not when I don't.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5-7
iscsi-initiator-utils- Jumbo-frames enabled on the network interface over which the iSCSI connection is made. That is, MTU on this interface is set higher than 1500.
