Bug ID: 238112
Summary: Unable to create ZVOL
Product: Base System
Version: 11.2-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Some People
Priority: ---
Component: kern
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: eu...@freebsd.org
CC: allanj...@freebsd.org, f...@freebsd.org,

A colleague of mine is testing his set of virtual machines under FreeBSD
11.2-STABLE using bhyve (sysutils/vm-bhyve specifically) over GELI-encrypted
non-boot ZFS pool with multiple ZVOLs and faced a problem.
After GELI attached the pool, kernel part of ZFS tastes its internals and
writes to dmesg:
ZFS WARNING: Unable to create ZVOL
sata/vm/ws2019tmplENhalts/C@20190524-225700-before-1st-reboot (error=63).
The dataset has recommended volmode=dev.
In sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common/fs/zfs/zvol.c the function
zvol_create_minor() prepends mentioned long name of dataset with prefix "zvol/"
and calls make_dev_s() from sys/kern/kern_conf.c that is a wrapper for
make_dev_sv() failing with ENAMETOOLONG (63).
make_dev_sv() uses prep_devname() that returns this error if total length is
more than sizeof(dev->si_name) - 1 that equals to SPECNAMELEN defined to 63. So
ZVOL name length is effectively limited to 58 octets due to "zvol/" prefix.
Warning message quoted above is too cryptic for user and this limit is obscure
and seems to be FreeBSD-specific. Please change the code to test for
ENAMETOOLONG and issue a warning describing the problem more clearly.
Also, consider replacing kernel printf() with more useful logging like log() so
the warning would hit syslog and get to /var/log/console.log (if enabled) and
not dmesg buffer only.
