_______________________________________________________
Details:
I downloaded the GRUB2 sources from Ubuntu's Launchpad, version 2.02~beta2 for
"Trusty", in order to understand why grub-probe would not deal correctly with
ZFS pools.
It turns out that even the original source, without the Ubuntu patches, fails
to build when libzfs is present (and/or --enable-zfs is used) because the zfs
libraries are missing from the grub-ofpathname utility's link command.
After correcting Makefile.util.def, everything builds OK and grub-probe
correctly reports that ZFS pools are of type zfs .
A patchfile for the correction is attached.
I'm currently building an updated set of Ubuntu/Debian packages; I'll modify
this ticket (or file a new one) if there are additional issues booting off a
ZFS root.
