Just for the completeness: yesterday I have learnt about the targetd project
that lets "a remote administrator allocate volumes from an LVM volume group,
and export those volumes over iSCSI. It also has the ability to create remote
file systems and export those file systems via NFS/CIFS (work in progress)":

That sounds a lot like the functionality we're talking about. And targetd is
packaged in Fedora already.
