iSCSI/fibre channel extents in GUI drive list

[kdragon75]

Since when did iSCSI/fibre channel extents show up under view disks in the GUI!?!one?1!

I understand why they're there, but it doesn't feel right. I'd file a bug report for it.

Hmmm... ZFS on ZFS? LETS TRY IT!

Zfs on geli on zvol on unencrypted zfs

Might as well wait for native encryption...

Might it have anything to do with the zvol tunable?

Or with this:

create a pool using partitions, then import it in the GUI. I'm hesitant to give more detail, because that might imply I think this a good idea.

disclaimer: I don't mean @kdragon75 did anything being a bad idea...

Why? I really am considering doing that (that = geli on top of zfs)

Because managing that is a pain and you have all the problems inherent to virtual block devices in terms of performance.

Like:

• Veracrypt/truecrypt container file?
• Bitlocker on iSCSI?

Or worse?

Shouldn't be worse
