And have you also tested that it actually works ? In my experience iscsitarget
no longer works reliable. Most likely due to kernel changes which do not break
compilation.

I myself have switched to scsi-target-utils. Recent scsi-target-utils packages
in Fedora come with a /etc/tgt/targets.conf and an initscript reading this making
configuration just as easy as iscsi-target (my initial reason to use iscsi-target
was the very user unfriendly configuration of scsi-target-utils in the past).
