I kind of found a solution to this issue.

I used a file to simulate a block device:

mkdir -p /lun/
dd if=/dev/zero of=/lun/sdb1.img bs=1M count=10240
losetup /dev/loop1 /lun/sdb1.img

This creates the illusion of a 10GB lun. Block Device

Sincerely,

I suspect that using losetup to create a loopback device is the best/only option.
