I have been testing iscsi-17.5 with an infortrend iscsi raid. 
If easily achievable, the timeout for devices in use should
be long enough for network switch reboot and/or ISCSI target
reboot (> 5 min). The loss of a device in use (mounted as an
ufs file system) usually requires the machine to be rebooted (which
I do not blame the iscsi driver for). As someone else already
explained, ufs is not designed for that. So I would rather 
have the initiator try forever, until an administrator
either fixes the network or target problem or manually 
terminates the connection (would be similar to nfs hard mounts 
with intr option).
