Details:
update-grub runs /usr/sbin/grub-probe
/usr/sbin/grub-probe runs ["zpool", "status", poolname]
zpool responds with device names as used at (I think!) pool creation time.
Often, this is /dev/disk/by-id/... names, without the path.
grub-probe then parses the output, and takes the names of devices, and if they
do not start with a "/", it prepends "/dev/".
It then tests the existence of the path name of the device. it fails.
grub-probe then returns something like
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of
`/dev/ata-ST31000333AS_99999999-part1'.
The actual path is of course /dev/disk/by-id/ST31000333AS_99999999-part1
