[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package zfs-linux - 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu18

---
zfs-linux (0.6.5.6-0ubuntu18) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Improve cloning performance for large numbers of clones (LP: #1567557)
Bump zcmd buffer from 16K to 256K.
  * Correctly install libraries such as libnvpair.so.1 to  /lib and not 
/usr/lib,
this also fixes boot issues (LP: #1596835)

  [SRU JUSTIFICATION XENIAL]

  
  Currently, in Ubuntu 16.04, the package libnvpair1linux puts libnvpair.so.1 
in /usr/lib/, however, tools like zpool and zfs which are installed in /sbin/ 
need this library. According to the FHS this means the required libraries 
should be in /lib/ in order to allow the user to install /usr/ on a separate 
partition that is not immediately available after boot.

  This turns out to be a problem indeed. On one of my systems I had
  /usr/ on a ZFS filesystem (and /, /lib/, /sbin/, /bin/ on a separate
  ext4 partition). However, the system failed to boot: it hung while
  mounting the ZFS partitions which failed because zpool import didn't
  work as it couldn't find libnvpair.so.1.

  [FIX]
  Correctly set path by modifying the debian install files for the specific 
libraries to match the correct settings found in releases after Xenial.

  [TEST]
  The path /usr/lib/ should no longer be populated with zfs libraries and 
instead they are located after the fix in /lib as expected.

  [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
  There could be other applications that are relying on the location of the 
libraries and so moving them could break these. However, they should not be 
using hard coded paths, so this regression is limited to badly coded 
applications that I am not aware of.

  The fix upgrade has been tested and double check with the ubuntu
  kernel team ZFS regression tests without issue.

The same applies to libuutil1linux, libzfs2linux, and libzpool2linux.
