However I can't get it to work. Writes simply appear to be ignored (not an error - just dropped on the floor). I'm not sure if this is a shortcoming of the qemu driver, or my iSCSI server, but it's not a problem with libguestfs (which just passes the iSCSI connection details over to qemu). There are some actual shortcomings in the libguestfs implementation though: (1) Authentication is not supported. We could add that fairly easily. (2) ':' in target names is not supported. qemu doesn't allow one to pass ':' on the command line ordinarily, but for iscsi:// URIs it does in fact allow it. However libguestfs is overcautious in checking for ':' characters in filenames. We should fix this.
