Am I correct that it will only work on lun creation, i.e.:

tgtadm --lld iscsi --mode logicalunit --op new --tid 5 --lun 1 -b /dev/sda --device-type=cd


But it's not possible to "update" it?

tgtadm --lld iscsi --op update --mode logicalunit --tid 4 --lun=1 --device-type=disk


We still have:

        LUN: 1
            Type: cd/dvd
