Bug Description
I have upgraded my dual boot laptop (Xubuntu 19.04 on ZFS) to 19.10, I only had a minor problems:
The system started scrubbing the exisisting datapools.
In the scrub I have been notified, that my datapool did not support all new features and that I had to upgrade the datapool. Of course I followed that advice enthusiastically and now the second 18.04.3 OS does not recognize the upgraded datapool anymore. I found out I can’t disable the culprit features.
I think there should be a more specific warning in the "zpool upgrade" for stupids like me. Only upgrade the datapool, if all OSes on the PC have been upgraded to zfs 0.8.
