Is there a different mailing list for that?

Please explain, if you would. In SLES we have a slightly older version
of targetcli and targetcli-fb, but I could not find any documentation on
targetcli-fb.

I just want the ability to save the current target configuration
including the WWN so that I can restore it after restart or reboot. I am
more than willing to write some custom python or work on patching the
python libraries we are using. But, honestly, it seems like
functionality that should already be in rtslib/targetcli[-fb], at least
as an option.
