Can you try the latest git tree
(65a3f8b0c14305aaee5bcaade569b40882e8dd88)? It works for me:

scsi3 : iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP
scsi 3:0:0:0: RAID              IET      Controller       0001 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

sd 3:0:0:1: [sdb] Very big device. Trying to use READ CAPACITY(16).
sd 3:0:0:1: [sdb] 12884901888 512-byte hardware sectors (6597070 MB)
sd 3:0:0:1: [sdb] Write Protect is off
sd 3:0:0:1: [sdb] Mode Sense: 79 00 00 08
sd 3:0:0:1: [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA


Somehow I forgot to add READ_CAPACITY_16 support. I would appreciate
it if you could read and write on over 2TB position properly.

I changed tgt to show the capacity like Linux does:

I guess that RedHat, SUSE, and OFED have tgt RPMs now so I think that
you can find something.
