Why are you sharing iscsi from nexenta to freebsd? Wouldn't it be better for nexenta to simply create zfs filesystems, and then share nfs? Much more flexible in a lot of ways. Unless your design requirements require limiting the flexibility intentionally... I can't think of any reason you'd want to do the iscsi thing from nexenta to freebsd. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
