OpenZFS on OS X

Hi I created a pool on linux using:

Code: Select all

zpool create -f -o ashift=12 \
    -O acltype=posixacl -O compression=lz4 \
    -O dnodesize=auto -O normalization=formD -O relatime=on \
    -O encryption=aes-256-gcm -O keylocation=prompt -O keyformat=passphrase \
    small /dev/sdd


When trying to import it on macos I get:

Code: Select all

[~/tmp]# zpool import small
This pool uses the following feature(s) not supported by this system:
        org.zfsonlinux:project_quota
        org.zfsonlinux:userobj_accounting
All unsupported features are only required for writing to the pool.
The pool can be imported using '-o readonly=on'.
cannot import 'small': unsupported version or feature
[~/tmp]# zpool import -o readonly=on small
[~/tmp]# zfs load-key -a
Enter passphrase for 'small':
1 / 1 key(s) successfully loaded
[~/tmp]# zfs mount -a
cannot mount 'small': Input/output error


How can I change the options so it works on both ?

On your Linux system you should be able to set a feature to the disabled state on a pool:

Code: Select all

root # zpool set feature@project_quota=disabled MyPool
root # zpool set feature@userobj_accounting=disabled MyPool


If that doesn't work I would try creating your pool on the MacOS system first; since the Linux development tree is the leading edge, it probably has all the possible features that have been implemented, while OpenZFSonOSX has a subset. If you run zpool status on Linux it will report that your pool could be upgraded, but you don't want to do that, since it will bring in these features that aren't compatible with O3X.
