UNH-iSCSI Initiator and Target for Linux

In this forum, the guy nicknamed seccon_mala (see below) provided a method for using iscsi Target with File I/O and a LVM block device juggling the file name created by the File I/O mode.

At the moment there is a (small?) group of people interested in implementing a "any Block IO mode" for an iscsi Target. These guys are also investigating where is the best starting point.

I quote the seccon_mala message:
"When you load the target module it creates zero size files on the disk. Unload the module, delete the file whith the target and lun number that you want to use. Then create a link to /dev/vg/lv named the same as the original lun file. The link can be a symlink.

I did this to share an IDE device with ISCSI. A block device is a block device so it should work."
