No, the lio-utils are not yet deprecated, although the targetcli interface is
much easier to use for customers. Not much development goes on for lio-utils
(none?), but they are still used and will continue be in SLE 12.

But yast probably should not reuse fileio_0 (for file backends) or iblock_0
(for block device backends). This essentially becomes the "HBA" for the virtual
device. It is recommended that each device have it's own HBA. For light/normal
usage, it probably doesn't matter, but for startup, you can have race
conditions with multiple devices per HBA.

So you should probably use "fileio_0", "fileio_1", "fileio_2", ... (for file
backends), and similar for block backends.

So I would consider this a YaST2 bug, but of lower priority for now?

Personally, I would like to see us to to using targetcli instead of lio-utils
in YaST, but we are currently evaluating replacing targetcli with targetcli-fb,
which is the current "best" API, so no use changing YaST for now.

Setting NEEDSINFO back to Gabi.
