Hey Ryan,
The problem you're hitting is that you haven't configured a 'base directory'
like this:
# iscsitadm modify admin -d <iscsitgt conf file directory of your choosing>
The iSCSI target plays a bit of 52-conf-file-pickup, but you can choose
where it puts all of its configuration data as you see fit.
You might want to file a bug asking for a better error message in that case --
I know I tore some hair out over the same issue.
As a bit of a teaser, check out what Rick and I got working today:
# iscsitadm list target
# zfs create -V 100m pool/v1
# zfs set shareiscsi=on pool/v1
# iscsitadm list target
Target: pool/v1
iSCSI Name: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:069a0cfb-d6cb-efbf-c42d-8264a19cbe5c.zvol
Connections: 0
It needs some more work, but that's where we're heading (and you don't need
to bother with the 'base directory' in this case).
