I'm looking to create a new pool for storing CIFS files. I know that I need to
set casesensitivity=mixed, but appears I can only set this option when using
the zfs create command, I get told it's not a valid pool property if I try to
use it with zpool create.
Is there no way to create a pool

Why isn't that intuitive ? It is even documented in the man page.
zpool create [-fn] [-o property=value] ... [-O file-system-
property=value] ... [-m mountpoint] [-R root] pool vdev ...
Is it possible for me to
It's not intuitive because when you know that -o sets options, an
error message saying that it's not a valid property makes you think
that it's not possible to do what you're trying.
Documented and intuitive are very different things. I do appreciate
that the details are there in the manuals,

Is it possible for me to suggest a quick change to the zpool error message in
solaris? Should I file that as an RFE? I'm just wondering if the error
message could be changed to something like:
property 'casesensitivity' is not a valid pool
Yeah, I knew that zpool creates a root filesystem (since it's listed in zfs
list), but I also knew these properties had to be set on creation, not after,
so I figured zpool -o was the way to do it.
Completely threw me when zpool -o said it wasn't a valid property, I'd never
have thought to
If you have an older Solaris release using ZFS and Samba, and you upgrade to a
version with CIFS support, how do you ensure the file systems/pools have
casesensitivity mixed?

You can check whether it's set with:
$ zfs get casesensitivity pool/filesystem
If you're using CIFS, you need that to return mixed or insensitive. If it
returns sensitive, it will cause you problems.
Unfortunately there's no way to change this setting on an existing filesystem,
so if you do

It will? What symptoms?

Well for one, occasional 'file not found' errors when programs (or shortcuts)
check whether a file exists if the case is wrong.
And you can expect more problems too. Windows systems are case insensitive, so
there's nothing stopping a program referring to one of it's files as file,
File and

It will work okay with Samba, though.
