--- Comment #1 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
Sorry, my mistake, I imagined that a space character " " was invalid.=20

It is valid, according to zpool-create(8).=20

Boot does succeed with these four pool names:=20

base-only
colon:pool
underscore_pool
fullstop.pool

Boot fails with these two pool names:=20

base only
space pool

--=20
