The issue seems to be related to a change in ZFS 0.8 initramfs script. The initramfs script for ZFS does a normal ZFS import. ZFS import now forces to export a pool before importing it back again on a different system. This is a security feature to ensure the same pool isn't imported on two different systems on the same time.
I guess what happens is that the way you are installing the pool doesn't export it before the reboot, then you reboot to the new installed system (which has different ID), and so zfs import fails in the initramfs. We were wondering if we should import -f in the initramfs to force importing, that's a question for Colin K. I think? At least, we should ensure you find what didn't export the pool properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838278 Title: zfs-initramfs wont mount rpool To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1838278/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
