Thanks for the pointer (I remember this being discussed, but couldn't
find it again). That seems to be pretty much the same as what I came up
with.
The difference with Darren's proposal is that mine requires pathname
arguments to start with a '.' (or '/') so the disambiguation is
automatic since pool names cannot start with either a '.' or a '/'. 'zfs
create tank/foo' thus refers to the dataset tank/foo, while 'zfs create
./tank/foo' refers to a dataset relative to the dataset of the current
directory (rpool/export/home/ml93401/tank/foo, if the current dir was my
home dir).
I think that the idea was generally well accepted. All that is
missing is the ARC case and the code.
If someone is willing the sponsor the ARC case, that shouldn't be a
problem.
I'll gladly sponsor the ARC case for you if you are willing to code and
test this ready for integration.
