Currently it is easy to share a ZFS volume as an iSCSI target.  Has 
there been any thought toward adding the ability to share a ZFS volume 
via USB-2 or Firewire to a directly attached client?

There is a substantial market for storage products which act like a 
USB-2 or Firewire "drive".  Some of these offer some form of RAID. 
It seems to me that ZFS with a server capability to appear as several 
USB-2 or Firewire drives (or eSATA) may be appealing for larger RAIDs 
of several terrabytes.

Is anyone aware of an application which can usefully share a ZFS 
volume (essentially a file) in this way?
