When creating a pool with the -t option on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, it will report an error and return a non-zero exit code, but the pool appears to be successfully created.

For example:

# zpool create -O canmount=off -O mountpoint=none -R /mnt/rpool-25582 -t rpool-25582 rpool /dev/mapper/loop2p1
cannot create 'rpool': no such pool or dataset
# zpool list

# zpool export rpool-25582
# zpool import rpool

I opened an upstream bug against ZFS on Linux, here: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/7502

And it has been recently fixed, here: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/pull/7509

Can this upstream fix be pulled into the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS packages?

Thanks,
Prakash
