Evaluate possibility of using targetcli/tcmu_runner to implement tape library emulation, replacing mhvtl
an idea by lee_duncan

Description

See if it is feasible to replace the mhvtl kernel module, since it is not upstream, with tcmurunner and targetcli. The tcmurunner program allows one to implement device driver-like functionality in user space.

Goals

To replace mhvtl.ko (the kernel module) with something supported upstream.

Resources

Just me, so far.

      If exact emulation of a tape environment is required (e.g., tape hardware failures, advanced SCSI protocols), it may take time to develop a suitable user-space plugin. Slitherio
