ZFS: pool vs FS

[krad]

1. Filesystems, not pools, can be mounted

correct pools are imported, however every pool  as a root dataset/file
system, this is automatically mounted normally to the specified mount
point. This isnt necessary the same as the pool name. This may not happen
if various filesystem tunables are set (canmount, mountpoint=legacy,
jailed,zoned) or import options set (-N -R)



2. "zpool create foo /dev/bar" makes new pool called foo

correct, with a root dataset, mounted on $pool_name by default

3. (2) does not create a file system

false see (1)

4. After (2), /foo is mounted and ready for writing

not always see (1)

5. (4) violates (1)

false
