        Like the 'sharenfs' property, 'shareiscsi' indicates if a ZVOL should
be exported as an iSCSI target. The acceptable values for this property

target types (for example, 'tape'). The default is 'off'. This property
        may be set on filesystems, but has no direct effect; this is to allow
        ZVOLs created under the ZFS hierarchy to inherit a default. For
        example, an administrator may want ZVOLs to be shared by default, and
        so set 'shareiscsi=on' for the pool.
hey adam, what's "direct" mean?

It's iSCSI target lingo for vanilla disk emulation.

If it's easier for folks we could change the accepted value to be "disk". "direct" is a term that comes from the T10 world. Other values are sequential for tapes, printer, scanner, etc..
