I honestly can't remember I'm afraid.  It was a good few months ago and I
don't think I kept any notes once I found NFS was better for my needs.

[AK] A pity you didn't file a bug on the issues you had encountered.
 
There were many reasons I switched, problems getting it to work was one, the
horribly complex names used by ZFS iSCSI shares was another, then you have
the fact that NFS seems to be far more tried & tested, and the way NFS gives
you access to the raw files with the potential to use ZFS snapshots to back
up vmware machines.

[AK] Not sure what do you mean here - NFS per se does not provide any means
to snapshot file-system at a client.  Am I missing something here?

Regards,
 Andrey
