 * '''CoveFs_EfsEnabled''' (Default: "False") - Enable ''experimental'' EFS support on the pool.  EFS being per file encryption.  May cause instability.
 * '''CoveFS_FastIo''' (Default: "True") - Enables the use of FastIo in the pooling filesystem.
 * '''CoveFs_IsDiskRemovable''' (Default: "False") - Should the pool drive be a removable drive? Defaults to False. This setting takes effect after a reboot.
