Sumit, I wonder what is the level of integration with ZFS? Is new target
going to be integrated via shareiscsi property too?


We are working on using zfs to store the metadata of the LUN. Other than that a zfs volume can very easily be used as a backing store so no other abstraction is needed. Regarding the'shareiscsi' option, COMSTAR has very extensive LUN mapping and masking features which are hard to stuff inside one CLI command. Even with the current iSCSI target most people end up using ACLs so its more than just shareiscsi. We are still evaluating to see if there are some defaults we can pick and have a 'sharescsi' option.
