You're comparing apples and oranges: NFS and CIFS are file sharing protocols that offer *file* access; iSCSI is a disk access protocol that offers *block* access. There is no sharing built into iSCSI. Think of it this way: NFS runs between two computers, but iSCSI runs between one computer and its disks. Or think of it this way: iSCSI is just a REALLY LONG cable between the CPU and disk. So no, iSCSI is not a replacement for NFS of CIFS.
