Does zfs-fuse "zpool create" accepts "-o ashift=12" or not?

[Durval Menezes]

Hi folks,

Using PLD-RCD with Gordan's excellent RPM here to create a pool on a
machine I'm bringing up from a backup; tried to specify ashift=12 on zpool
create but it just barfed:

property 'ashift' is not a valid pool property


Searched the list archives but was not able to find anything definitive,
just a somewhat old message from someone who had the same issue and a reply
from Emmanuel that there was a patch to implement that which was supposed
to have been applied...

So, what's the official position?

Cheers,

... which was supposed to be applied probably but never was apparently.
No idea what this commit was supposed to be anyway, I guess it was not in
the post ?
Anyway my onnv-gate tree is long gone, so no idea, all I can say is that
clearly this commit was never merged, the property does not exist.
Sorry, too old stuff !

IIRC settable ashift was a ZoL feature. If you can dig out the commit
for it from the ZoL tree, you might find it can be patched into ZF's
zpool implementation reasonably cleanly.

The only other thing I can think of is to use ZoL's zpool to zpool
create initially with the correct ashift.

Yes, from what I vaguely remember it was an internal property of the

pools, but not changeable here. So a pool created with the right value
should work without problem in zfs-fuse, and it's probably the easiest
solution here.

Yeah. It'd be rather neat, though, to backport the patch from ZoL. But
then again, so would pool v28 support (last compatibility point between
Solaris and other implementations)...
