Just fired up my frontend after letting it sleep all night and sure enough
it wouldn't wake properly.  Sleeping worked great during all my short-term
tests, but I never left it for an extended period before last night.  I
suspect that the iscsi connection didn't recover (I am connecting via gpxe
in my NIC bios with DHCP to configure it).  I wonder if there is a setting
on my server to preserve the connection for a longer time.
