Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce the issue here, I therefore need more info from your side. Would it be possible to configure the timezone again to Asia/Baku and paste the resulting output? This should be something like this: | Current default time zone: 'Asia/Baku' | Local time is now: Fri Sep 30 00:44:09 AZT 2016. | Universal Time is now: Thu Sep 29 20:44:09 UTC 2016.

I guess we would have to verify that /etc/machine-id is available in the initrd for this to work with / in zfs. But I guess that is a problem with /etc/hostid too for gethostid(). :) While researching this topic I came across http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9258228/how-to-prevent-gethostid-from-doing-dns-lookups-on-linux > which report that gethostid() might lock up a program if the DNS server become unavailable. A scary scenario just to get the machine ID. I also came across http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/ids.html >, which provide a very useful list of possible IDs to use in addition to the gethostid() value. It agrees that gethostid() have unclear sematics. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen

It can't be a full UUID. The on-disk format of ZFS uses a 32-bit integer. It doesn't really matter what we use to derive it, but a 32-bit integer is the constraint. For example, if you want to use the low 32-bits of /etc/machine-id, that would work too. It'd mean carrying a patch on Debian, but if the pain of a patch and different behavior is less than the benefits of the change, go for it. > Even on solaris > there's a big honkin' warning on the man page that it isn't guaranteed > to be unique (IIRC, getuid on containers reflects the hardware the > container is running on). On Solaris the zone (container) wouldn't import the pool. Pools are imported in the "global zone". So this isn't a problem. -- Richard

I tried to choose also other timezones and all seems ok. So, I think it's necessary to fix the timezone Asia/Baku.

Whether that's done in the libc, spl, or zfs package makes no difference to me. You still haven't explained why zfs doesn't just generate a uuid itself. There's a large body of work ensuring reasonable uniqueness for uuids, and there isn't a clear benefit to clinging to getuid. Even on solaris there's a big honkin' warning on the man page that it isn't guaranteed to be unique (IIRC, getuid on containers reflects the hardware the container is running on). Mike Stone

Whether that's > done in the libc, spl, or zfs package makes no difference to me. As I tried to explain, the risks of collisions without central coordination looks rather high. glibc's current approach, using the IP address associated with the host name, provides a certain level of coordination, avoiding duplicates.
