I'm not sure what exactly you want to try. What is 'your anew type of
iSCSI target'?

Probably 'bs_rdwr.c' is a wrong reference for you. It just does I/Os
via system calls. There is not much SCSI stuff there.

The device size (the number of sectors) is stored in struct
scsi_lu. The sector size depends on what device type you want to
use. If you are trying something with disk (sbc), then the following
patch might be useful for you:
