[gentoo-user] Heads-up: grub-mkconfig generates bad configs for root-on-ZFS with fully-updated pool

This is a quick heads-up for folks who use grub, have their root filesystem on ZFS and boot from it with an initramfs (i.e. not directly from grub), and have fully upgraded their pool to 2.2.2. In that configuration, grub-mkconfig (grub-probe, actually) fails to recognize the pool, and it

Hello! I guess most (all) of the distro's you are talking about use GRUB (or at least they allow to do it). If that's true, I'm pretty sure you can happily let them overwrite the GRUB in MBR as many times as they want, since it's the same (or just probably minor version differences) bootloader.
