Bug ID: 222227
Summary: ZFS: Confusing error message when attempting to create
zpool on too small media
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: mariehelen...@gmail.com
When attempting to create a zpool on a too small media (say, a 1.4MB 3.5"
floppy), the error message is "cannot create 'poolname': no such pool or
dataset"
I'd expect an error message along the lines of 'underlying block device too
small'.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Have a floppy or other ridiculously small r/w media accessible on the system
In this example, the floppy is /dev/da0.
2) Execute following commands to prepare media
# gpart create -s gpt da0
da0 created
# gpart add -t freebsd-zfs da0
da0p1 created
# gpart show da0
=> 40 2800 da0 GPT (1.4M)
40 2800 1 freebsd-zfs (1.4M)
3) Attempt to create pool
# zpool create floppytest /dev/da0p1
cannot create 'floppytest': no such pool or dataset
