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.
