Hi,

In company where I'm working we are using "zpool status -x" command output
in monitoring scripts for check health all ZFS pools. Everything is OK
except few systems where "zpool status -x" is exactly the same as "zpool
status". I'm not sure but looks like this behavior is not OS version
specific (I observe this on one latest OpenSolaris build but also on some
previous on on two boxes with Solarises 10).
I found that in all these cases in command output I see some additional
notes like:

status: The pool is formatted using an older on-disk format.  The pool can
        still be used, but some features are unavailable.
action: Upgrade the pool using 'zpool upgrade'.  Once this is done, the
        pool will no longer be accessible on older software versions.

If "zpoll status -x" output is not single line message "all pools are
healthy" by using old on disk format IMO this behavior is inccorrect
because in zpool(1M) description for -x option I see:

         -x           Only display  status  for  pools  that  are
                      exhibiting errors or are otherwise unavail-
                      able.

In this case there is no errors in pools and all resources still are
available.

Comments? Should I open case for this?
