https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=292845 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: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: jschauma@netmeister.org 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
