Hi,

imo is that the wrong point for such things, since the datastore creation
only takes an (arbitrary) path, which has really nothing to do with
the underlying filesystem.

we already have a zpool creation in the api/gui, maybe we could extend that
to also be able to create (and destroy?) zfs fs?

i think we don't want pbs to become a fs/partition manager though ;)

kind regards
