FYI, I wrote both IET and stgt. So I understand the difference well.

'controller' lun 0 enables me to have the better design than IET.

What do you mean 'Why "Microsoft iscsi" cannot work well with stgt'?

With tgt, Windows complains about the unknown device about
'controller'. But once you tell Windows that you don't want to install
any driver for it and ignore it, then Windows will never
complain. Then you can use other logical units.
