utf8only, normalization settings being ignored on non root pool creation

[cwharlow]

command "zpool create -f -o ashift=12 -O normalization=formD -m none scratchpool ata-TOSHIBA_HDWD110_Y5EB69RRS"

results in "~ # zfs get normalization scratchpool
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
scratchpool normalization none default "

also tried with /dev/sdX rather than device ID and also other normalization forms, no luck

gentoo, kernel 4.1.15-r1. zfs-0.6.5.4-r2, zfs-kmod-0.6.5.4-r1, spl-0.6.5.4-r1

not working to create root pools either. 2 machines I did installs on this week show normalization as none. machine in initial comment was installed around Oct 2014 (so older zfs version), root pool on it says:
"~ # zfs get normalization zroot
NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE
zroot normalization formD -
"

Same problem with Gentoo, kernel 4.4.8-hardened-r1, zfs-0.6.5.3-r5.

zfs-0.6.5.2-r1 (with spl-0.6.5.3-r1 and zfs-kmod-0.6.5.3-r4) does not have the issue.

I just tried with sys-fs/zfs-0.6.5.4 (i.e. no Gentoo-specific patches) and setting e.g. normalization=formD on pool pool creation works fine. It seems that this bug is in one of @ryao's patches to the sys-fs/zfs package.

I agree with @stiell. This works for me. It sounds like this is a Gentoo problem and should be reported there.

[cwharlow]

sure no problem, thanks for the help. I will report it there
