        Hello.  Looks like you can choose to have the storage present as a
large file in your mount directory or as a block device,  which you then
can symlink to in the /dev tree.  I haven't actually used it, however.

} Hm, fuse...does this mean iSCSI disk can be used only for a filesystem,
} rather than just appearing as another disk drive?  That's what the fuse
