Hi Eric,
this is a great proposal and I'm sure this is going to help administrators
a lot.
One small question below:
> Any property which contains a colon (':') is defined as a 'user
> property'. The name can contain alphanumeric characters, plus the
> following special characters: ':', '-', '.', '_'. User properties are
> always strings, and are always inherited. No additional validation is
> done on the contents. Properties are set and retrieved through the
> standard mechanisms: 'zfs set', 'zfs get', and 'zfs inherit'.
> # zfs list -o name,local:department
> NAME LOCAL:DEPARTMENT
> test 12345
> test/foo 12345
> # zfs set local:department=67890 test/foo
> # zfs inherit local:department test
> # zfs get -s local -r all test
> NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
> test/foo local:department 12345 local
> # zfs list -o name,local:department
> NAME LOCAL:DEPARTMENT
> test -
> test/foo 12345
the example suggests that properties may be case-insensitive. Is that the case
(sorry for the pun)? If so, that should be noted in the user defined property
definition just for clarity.
Best regards,
Constantin
