No difference if I use the Ubuntu 16.04 package, or compile targetcli and rtsilb from latest git.

[rds76]

Hi, guess Ubuntu 16.04 uses *-fb targetcli version called free branch. Those forks are not compatible vice versa. Use distro package is preffered or remove targetcli distro and build any from git yourself.
Btw I built both manually to work together on debian wheezy with latest kernel.

[schoerg]

I tried building from git.

[rds76]

do you have policy files in /var/taget/policy/ ?

[schoerg]

Yes.

backstore_fileio.lio
backstore_iblock.lio
backstore_pscsi.lio
backstore_ramdisk.lio
fabric_ib_srpt.lio
fabric_iscsi.lio
fabric_loopback.lio
fabric_qla2xxx.lio
fabric_tcm_fc.lio
fabric_vhost.lio
