Hi Mike.

I tested it using a for loop to create > 255

for i in {1..260}; do itadm create-target; done

then it will error out with the:

"Maximum of 255 iSCSI targets
itadm create-target failed with error 7

255 is a bit small, but 1024 would be enough for us; really it ought to 
be enough for anyone :)
