      In the current Lustre manual, it states that the length of an OST pool is up to 16 characters:

      The pool name is an ASCII string up to 16 characters.

      Yet, the real maximum pool name length is 15 characters. Using a recent master (2.8.53) build:

      mgs# lctl pool_new scratch.1234567890123456
poolname 1234567890123456 is too long (max is 15)
argument scratch.1234567890123456 must be <fsname>.<poolname>
pool_new: File name too long

      The text in the manual should probably read something like
      'The pool name is an ASCII string with a maximum of 15 characters.'
