I have tried to tweak /sys/block/sr0/queue/max_sectors_kb but with no
luck (sr0 is the backend exported) Can you tell me if targetcli use this
value? And if yes, when is it taken into account? (on backend creation?
when the initiator connects? sometime else?)

I forgot to say that the goal is to play dvd/bd video disks and that I
need the pass-through for all the special commands needed to authenticate
the drive etc. So using the file backend does not seem to be an option.

Does the user:fbo handle the necessary special command for video dvd/bd?

In that story I had exactly the same extremely slow behaviour described
in this old post before I could limit the maximum transfer size:

Ramin Mahmoodi, do you still read target-devel?
