Just for fun, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and implement
a quick scsi-target-losetup that actually worked, both for creation and
deletion. Here it is:

---cut---

#!/bin/bash

gen_naa() {
    local UUID="$( uuidgen -r )"
    UUID="${UUID//-/}"
    UUID="${UUID:0:9}"
    echo "naa.6001405${UUID}"
}

setup() {
    local FILE
    local INPUT_NAME
    local NAME
    local BACKEND_IDX
    local TRANSPORT_IDX
    declare -a NAA
    FILE="${1}"
    INPUT_NAME="${2}"
    NAME="${INPUT_NAME//\//_}"
    BACKEND_IDX='-1'
    TRANSPORT_IDX='-1'

    if [[ $UID -ne 0 ]]; then
        echo "You must be root in order to set up a lioloop device" >&2
        exit 1
    fi

    if [[ "${NAME}" != "${INPUT_NAME}" ]]; then
        echo "The chosen name '${INPUT_NAME}' contained slashes, using '${NAME}' instead" >&2
    fi

    declare SIZE="$(du -b "${FILE}")"
    SIZE="${SIZE/[^0123456789]*}"

    # Load the scsi target core and backends
    modprobe target_core_mod >/dev/null 2>&1

    while BACKEND_IDX=$((BACKEND_IDX + 1)); do
        if [[ -d "/sys/kernel/config/target/core/fileio_${BACKEND_IDX}/${NAME}" ]]; then
            echo "A backstore with the name '${NAME}' already exists" >&2
            exit 1
        elif ! [[ -d /sys/kernel/config/target/core/fileio_${BACKEND_IDX} ]]; then
    #        mkdir -p "/sys/kernel/config/target/core/fileio_${BACKEND_IDX}/${NAME}"
    # Tell it where the file is and how big it is
            tcm_node --establishdev "fileio_${BACKEND_IDX}/${NAME}" \
                "fd_dev_name=${FILE},fd_dev_size=${SIZE}"
    # Give it a unique serial
            tcm_node --setunitserialwithmd "fileio_${BACKEND_IDX}/${NAME}" "$(uuidgen -r)"
            break
        fi
    done

    # Create a fresh LUN...
