OK; thanks.  It seems slightly odd to have two very similar features
(OSD+iSCSI looks functionally like traditional NFS to me), and there
wasn't a mention of this in the original proposal, so it's good to
hear.

For ZFS alignment, I'm curious about ACL handling with OSD and what
happens if Solaris becomes an OSD target rather than initiator, but
perhaps those are things for the eventual project mailing list.
