Who completely replaced the zfs-initramfs script? Was there a particular reason for this massive change, and was it discussed anywhere? This change has caused many regressions, of varying importance. I realize I don't "own" this code, but as someone who is very involved in root-on-ZFS installs in Ubuntu, I'm quite annoyed that nobody asked me if this was a good idea or mentioned it was happening so I might review it and offer some feedback. Aside from the issue that Sam Van den Eynde is having [0], this also reverted a number of changes I made, including but not limited to: the support I added for rootdelay= and the code to set elevator=noop [1].

Experienced this with Ubuntu Zesty. Xenial seems to ship with a different zfs script for the initrd. Work around when it happens: unmount the dataset that should not be mounted, and exit the initramfs rescue prompt to resume booting.
