@quartsize quartsize commented Sep 7, 2023

Motivation and Context

A poster on a ZFS forum pointed out to me that zpoolconcepts(7) currently says that "virtual devices cannot be nested," which was inconsistent with my assertion that (child) disks are also "vdevs."

Alternatively, if I'm wrong about that, please give me some clarification so I can think about how to clarify that instead!

Description

I rephrase the paragraph to be clearer that it is only certain types of vdevs that cannot be nested, so as not to imply that child files and disks are not considered "vdevs."

How Has This Been Tested?

man ./zpoolconcepts.7
mandoc -T lint zpoolconcepts.7

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Performance enhancement (non-breaking change which improves efficiency)
  • Code cleanup (non-breaking change which makes code smaller or more readable)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Library ABI change (libzfs, libzfs_core, libnvpair, libuutil and libzfsbootenv)
  • Documentation (a change to man pages or other documentation)

Ok, so unlike the previous one (checkstyle), the current failure (20.04 zloop) seems unlikely my doing.
