Bug ID: 292845
Summary: zpool should report permissions error
Product: Base System
Version: 15.0-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When trying to run zpool(8) to create a new pool as a non-root user, the
command returns a misleading error:
```
$ zpool create extra /dev/nda1 /dev/nda2
cannot use '/dev/nda1': must be a block device or regular file
```
The problem here is that the devices are not readable by the normal user.
zpool(8) should differentiate between not having permission to access a disk
and the argument provided not being a block device.
