Yikes ... There is no nbd device support in RHEL, and mounting drives
directly on the host is very insecure. Only a few days ago another
exploitable bug in ext3 was found and fixed.
Anyhow, libguestfs can do nbd directly:

and it could do iscsi too with very minimal effort. Are we really
interested in iscsi? If so I'll add it.
