I wonder if it's possible to force the pool to be marked as inactive? Ideally

At this point it mi
like

You might need to add a "-f", but try it without "-f" first.

ZFS, and use it for those same purposes.
Would you want a single checksum per file, or the list of every checksum
for every block that the file referenced?
The second option might get unwieldy.
The first option - a meta-checksum if you like - would require some
interesting design.

You should also have a look at the "legacy" option in the zfs
manpage, which provides more details on how to get zpools and
zfs integrated into your system.

You're not quite thinking ZFS-style yet. With ZFS you do not have to

of the problem - ZFS _requires_ a complete re-working
of your understanding of how storage works, because the old limitations
are no longer valid.
If the customer actually wants to get benefit from ZFS then they have
to be prepared to undergo a paradigm shift.

From that pool you create as many filesystems as you need.
If from those 8 disks you want two different underlying types
