[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v2] api: zfs: create zpool with relatime=on

[Dominik Csapak]

some operations (e.g. garbage collection/restore/etc.) are very read
intensive on the chunks, and having atime=on and relatime=off (zfs default)
makes those write intensive operations too. Additionally, 'ext4' defaults to
relatime, so also change the default for api-created zpools.

changes from v1:
* do not disable atime, it must be on for relatime to work, quote
from 'man zfsprops' for 'relatime':

Controls the manner in which the access time is updated when atime=on is set.

looks good to me but would need a rebase on current master branch.
