With it being a configuration file you're done with zfs; (not even having to do the second step for modifications made to prior to the update as usually offers to merge existing changes into the new version being installed). Having it in the .c code leads to having to fetch/patch/compile/

I read the proposal as giving a ZFS admin the QoL to not having to dig through some feature compatibility matrix each time he wants to create a pool that should be importable on a set of other machines. I'm fine with that general idea. I just see no point (and no benefit) in hardcoding the val

@ahrens: Having an *additional* user-defined feature set list dosn't make sense, it doubles the coding effort (having to check hardcoded and user defined ones). It would also open the question of who takes precedence: the user ones (as I would expect from OS software) or you enforcing your *hard

Looks good. Only thing: *please* make this feature lookup the features for a set *from a plain text file* (like in /etc/zfs/), just containing features_name = comma, separated, list, of, feature, names and *not* something compiled in. It should be easy to define custom feature sets, this would

A little late to the party, but: Given the goals are to give an easy way to create a pool that is compatible with a desired range of other systems (and tools like GRUB) in a way that is both interoperable between the different distributions / platforms, easy to automate and simple to remember..

Hello, The zfs rollback command breaks the expectation of the user about -r since it does not work recursively on the children as this option does everywhere else. Also rolback is the only command dealing with snapshots where there is no way to recursively apply it to the children of the specified
