ax6761@robn *ugh* Personally prefer to have "readonly=on" to supersede read-write option of "{zfs-,}mount" commands.
Issue 18557 is really not an issue. "Affected" people ought to not-do-that-if-it-hurts. (Actually, same could be said of my preference (that I ought to not use "{zfs-,}mount" with read-write option on a dataset with "readonly=on" property).)
Anyway, what good is "readonly" property (set to "on") then if it is easily overridden.
Rob 💚Ever wondered how the #OpenZFS readonly filesystem property interacts with the ro and rw mount options, and if using mount(8) vs zfs-mount(8) changes anything, and if your choice of platform changes anything?
I certainly hadn't, until I got a bug report that I'd subtly changed a couple of cases in 2.4.2 for Linux. I unbroke it, but not before spending a bunch of time trying to figure out what "unbroke" means. Emphasis on "trying".
Here's the fix, with my endless 🤔 in the collapsed "bonus" section. Good speluncking opportunity available if you'd like to figure it out!
linux/super: properly apply ro/rw mount option to superblock by robn · Pull Request #18563 · openzfs/zfs
[Sponsors: TrueNAS] Motivation and Context f5a9e3a changed how SB_RDONLY was applied to the new mount in a way that was too simplistic - it only sets readonly on the filesystem if the mount was ro,...

Seven years of running FreeBSD on ThinkPads alongside Linux — lessons I'd give my younger self
<https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1tedyva/seven_years_of_running_freebsd_on_thinkpads/> @Darknessraptor
＂I daily-drive Linux at work and FreeBSD on my personal ThinkPads (T480 & P52 currently). Both laptops and both operating systems, every day. I'm the kind of person who reads freebsd-update output and Phoronix benchmarks in the same hour.
＂Recently saw the "is FreeBSD really that goated" thread and it brought back the timeline of my own journey. Started with a rough —call it version 0.9 — build that barely had X11 working, evolved through five iterations, landed on something I'd call "production-stable personal desktop" around version 2.0 on FreeBSD 15.0 with a heavily customized MATE, ZFS boot environments, BastilleBSD jails for microservices, WireGuard tunnels and PF.

"… more likely to happen when dealing with usb attached external interfaces. …"
On the many occasions when I have lost then regained USB connectivity to a mobile hard disk drive that hosts a ZFS pool, and (naturally) it becomes impossible to run any zpool command on the pool:
– there's never an endless freeze.
Restart the OS in the normal way, and be patient. Sometimes very patient.
That was, Kubuntu 25.04 and 25.10 with (OpenZFS-encrypted) root-on-ZFS. I have not yet had an opportunity to play the waiting game with 26.04.
