I'm not 100% certain, but I don't think that would work sensibly. The 
lack of sane POSIX locking might kill that plan. You could try it, 
though. Create a file on the NFS share and point the iSCSI initiator at 
it. See what happens, but make sure you stress test it VERY thoroughly 
with data you don't mind losing. Can you not get the said device to 
export an NBD or an iSCSI share? That would likely work better.
