ZFSPool: FilesystemNamingRestrictions


ZFS has some built-in naming restrictions for pool names and filesystem names. Regular ZFS files and directories, however, don’t have these restrictions. Each ZFS filesystem and pool name must be named according to the following rules:

The beginning sequence c[0-9] is not allowed.
The names “log” and “spare” are reserved.
A name that begins with “mirror” or “raidz” is also not allowed because these names are reserved. You can use a case-variant as a work-around.
Pool names must not contain a percent sign (%).
