I think older versions used to fail if the pc/pool/cpool directories
weren't present and some update added it as a feature for people who
wanted to rotate different disks in and out of the server for offsite
storage etc., so all you had to do was mount a disk in the right
place. I guess it would be nice if that were an option you could
control somewhere in the configuration.
