[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] disable-bpool-upgrade.patch

[Colm Buckley]

I see what Ubuntu were trying to achieve with
4100-disable-bpool-upgrade.patch, but I really don't like the hardcoding of
the "bpool" name into the tools like this.

Would it be reasonable to adopt this patch (changing the behavior of `zpool
status` and `zpool upgrade`) if instead of checking for name='bpool', it
checked for a property; eg: if org.debian:grub-workaround = true, inhibit
the behavior of 'zpool upgrade -a' on that pool and omit the suggestion to
upgrade the pool on 'zpool status'?

I do think it's worthwhile to *somehow* allow admins to disable this
behavior for boot pools which need to be parsed by grub.

Thoughts?
