This a straight-forward addition of accepting additional command line options. The case is requesting micro/patch binding. I believe the case qualifies for self-review and have marked it as such. Please let me know if there is any disagreement and I will convert the case to an open fast-track.

Project/Component Working Name: Pool root file system properties via zpool(1M) 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Tim Haley 1.3 Date of This Document: 27 March, 2008 4. Technical Description OVERVIEW: There is presently no way to set file system properties on the root file system of a zpool until after that file system has already been created. This has become an issue with the introduction of certain properties that cannot be changed after file system creation, and therefore cannot have anything other than default values in the root file system of the pool (see PSARC/2007/244). PROPOSED SOLUTION: This fasttrack proposes a new command line option for the 'zpool create' sub-command. A pool creator may add one or more '-O property=value' options specifying property values which will be applied to the pool root file system during its creation.
