   Very true.  And exporting a container file as an iSCSI volume can be
done with a single command under Solaris:
$ zfs set shareiscsi=on /path/to/file
   =)
   (building a NAS with Solaris is just about the easiest thing on Earth
nowadays!)
  Same for old SCSI, no?  Somewhere in my junk piles I
have a SCSI
 pass-through board with an LCD display that showed a count of
 blocks read/written.  Why not more info? 
   You want a SCSI bus analyzer.  They are around; I picked one on on
eBay about ten years ago for about $100.
