Distributed Spare (dRAID) Feature
This patch adds a new top-level vdev type called dRAID, which stands
for Distributed parity RAID.  This pool configuration allows all dRAID
vdevs to participate when rebuilding to a distributed hot spare device.
This can substantially reduce the total time required to restore full
parity to pool with a failed device.

A dRAID pool can be created using the new top-level `draid` type.
Like `raidz`, the desired redundancy is specified after the type:
`draid[1,2,3]`.  No additional information is required to create the
pool and reasonable default values will be chosen based on the number
of child vdevs in the dRAID vdev.

    zpool create <pool> draid[1,2,3] <vdevs...>

Unlike raidz, additional optional dRAID configuration values can be
provided as part of the draid type as colon separated values. This
allows administrators to fully specify a layout for either performance
or capacity reasons.  The supported options include:

    zpool create <pool> \
        draid[<parity>][:<data>d][:<children>c][:<spares>s] \
        <vdevs...>

    - draid[parity]       - Parity level (default 1)
    - draid[:<data>d]     - Data devices per group (default 8)
    - draid[:<children>c] - Expected number of child vdevs
    - draid[:<spares>s]   - Distributed hot spares (default 0)

Abbreviated example `zpool status` output for a 68 disk dRAID pool
with two distributed spares using special allocation classes.

```

When adding test coverage for the new dRAID vdev type the following
options were added to the ztest command.  These options are leverages
by zloop.sh to test a wide range of dRAID configurations.

    -K draid|raidz|random - kind of RAID to test
    -D <value>            - dRAID data drives per group
    -S <value>            - dRAID distributed hot spares
    -R <value>            - RAID parity (raidz or dRAID)

The zpool_create, zpool_import, redundancy, replacement and fault
test groups have all been updated provide test coverage for the
dRAID feature.

.Op Fl dfn
.Op Fl m Ar mountpoint
.Oo Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value Oc Ns ...

.Op Fl R Ar root
.Op Fl t Ar tname
.Ar pool vdev Ns ...
.Xc
Creates a new storage pool containing the virtual devices specified on the
command line.
The pool name must begin with a letter, and can only contain
alphanumeric characters as well as underscore
.Pq Qq Sy _ ,
dash
.Pq Qq Sy \&- ,
colon
.Pq Qq Sy \&: ,
space
.Pq Qq Sy \&\ ,
and period
.Pq Qq Sy \&. .
The pool names
.Sy mirror ,
.Sy raidz ,
.Sy draid ,
.Sy spare
and
.Sy log
are reserved, as are names beginning with
.Sy mirror ,
.Sy raidz ,
.Sy draid ,
.Sy spare ,
and the pattern
.Sy c[0-9] .
The
.Ar vdev
specification is described in the
.Em Virtual Devices
section of
.Xr zpoolconcepts.
.Pp
The command attempts to verify that each device specified is accessible and not
currently in use by another subsystem. However this check is not robust enough
to detect simultaneous attempts to use a new device in different pools, even if
.Sy multihost
is
.Sy enabled.
The
administrator must ensure that simultaneous invocations of any combination of
.Sy zpool replace ,
.Sy zpool create ,
.Sy zpool add ,
or
.Sy zpool labelclear ,
do not refer to the same device. Using the same device in two pools will
result in pool corruption.
.Pp
There are some uses, such as being currently mounted, or specified as the
dedicated dump device, that prevents a device from ever being used by ZFS.
Other uses, such as having a preexisting UFS file system, can be overridden with
the
.Fl f
option.
.Pp
The command also checks that the replication strategy for the pool is
consistent.
An attempt to combine redundant and non-redundant storage in a single pool, or
to mix disks and files, results in an error unless
.Fl f
is specified.
The use of differently sized devices within a single raidz or mirror group is
also flagged as an error unless
.Fl f
is specified.
.Pp
Unless the
.Fl R
option is specified, the default mount point is
.Pa / Ns Ar pool .
The mount point must not exist or must be empty, or else the root dataset
cannot be mounted.
This can be overridden with the
.Fl m
option.
.Pp
By default all supported features are enabled on the new pool unless the
.Fl d
option is specified.
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl d
Do not enable any features on the new pool.
Individual features can be enabled by setting their corresponding properties to
.Sy enabled
with the
.Fl o
option.
See
.Xr zpool-features 5
for details about feature properties.
.It Fl f
Forces use of
.Ar vdev Ns s ,
even if they appear in use or specify a conflicting replication level.
Not all devices can be overridden in this manner.
.It Fl m Ar mountpoint
Sets the mount point for the root dataset.
The default mount point is
.Pa /pool
or
.Pa altroot/pool
if
.Ar altroot
is specified.
The mount point must be an absolute path,
.Sy legacy ,
or
.Sy none .
For more information on dataset mount points, see
.Xr zfs 8 .
.It Fl n
Displays the configuration that would be used without actually creating the
pool.
The actual pool creation can still fail due to insufficient privileges or
device sharing.
.It Fl o Ar property Ns = Ns Ar value
Sets the given pool properties.
See the
.Xr zpoolprops
manual page for a list of valid properties that can be set.
.It Fl o Ar feature@feature Ns = Ns Ar value
Sets the given pool feature. See the
.Xr zpool-features 5
section for a list of valid features that can be set.
Value can be either disabled or enabled.
.It Fl O Ar file-system-property Ns = Ns Ar value
Sets the given file system properties in the root file system of the pool.
See the
.Xr zfsprops 8
manual page for a list of valid properties that can be set.
.It Fl R Ar root
Equivalent to
.Fl o Sy cachefile Ns = Ns Sy none Fl o Sy altroot Ns = Ns Ar root
.It Fl t Ar tname
Sets the in-core pool name to
.Sy tname
while the on-disk name will be the name specified as the pool name
.Sy pool .
This will set the default cachefile property to none. This is intended
to handle name space collisions when creating pools for other systems,
such as virtual machines or physical machines whose pools live on network
block devices.
