zfs discuss - May 2010 - Sharing with zfs

Hello,
Im new to this discussion lists so i hope im posting in the right place. I
started using zfs not too long ago. Im trying to figure out the ISCSI and
NFS sharing for the moment. For the ISCSI sharing at the moment im using
COMSTAR. A created the appropriate target, also a LU corespondent to the
zvol with sbdadm, then created a view attached to this. Im wondering is
there a way to actually delete a zvol ignoring the fact that it has attached
LU? I noticed the -f option does not help in this specific case. I know it
can be deleted by first deleting the attached LU and everything else, but im
wondering if is there anyway to do it without doing this. Also, im still
wondering why a volume(zvol) dataset has the sharenfs property ... is there
any way you can actually use this ? Thanks in advance.

You didn''t say what version of what OS you are running. As of b134
or so it seems to be impossible to delete a zfs iscsi target. You might
look at the thread: "[zfs-discuss] How to destroy iscsi dataset?",
however it never really came to any really satisfying conclusion.

AFAIK the only way to delete a zfs iscsi target is to boot b132 or
earlier in single user mode. IIRC there are iscsigt and COMSTAR
changes coming in later releases so it night be worth trying again
when we eventually get to go past b134.
