Please ignore my previous email, I figured it out. I had to go into
the loopback target / lun ("cd naa.500140582a838aa2/luns/") and then
manually issue a "create" command for each backstore for which I
wanted to created a loopback device. It would be nice it this
critical steps was mentioned in the wiki.
Regards,
Ahmed.
