Its possible to create pools that are perfectly valid but are perhaps not the "best" choice for a given set of devices. An example is a raidz1 of two devices. I have seen inexperienced users create this because it looks on the surface like a traditional RAID-1, that is, a mirror. It even appears to work, but presents problems later when they want to upgrade the drives, and of course does not perform as well as a mirror. This changes `zpool create` to reject such "suboptimal" pool layouts, and suggest a possible better alternative. It checks for raidz and draid where the number of devices are parity+1, and could be extended in the future. It adds a switch, --force=layout, to disable the check and the warning and return the old behaviour, for those who know what they're doing. Included is a utility function to work with option flags. The existing -f switch to `zpool create` is now an alias for `--force=vdevs`. Signed-off-by: Rob Norris <robn@despairlabs.com> |
