Title:
initramfs-zfs should support misc /dev dirs
Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Right now 'zfs-initramfs', i.e. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs
does not support any other directory than /dev for "zpool import ...".
Therefore even if a pool gets created from a different directory like
/dev, say /dev/disk/by-id or /dev/chassis/SYS on next reboot /dev will
be used and thus zpool status will show the /dev/sd* etc. on
successful import. Beside that now a user does not see the original
names used in "zpool create ..." the unstable names like "/dev/sd*"
are shown, which is explicitly NOT recommended.
The following patch introduces the "pseudo" kernel param named "zdirs"
- a comma separated list of dev dirs to scan on import - which gets
used by /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs to honor it.
