I jointly worked with the zfsonlinux maintainer on a patch that will be merged in 0.7.0 milestone https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/milestone/11?closed=1
#4680, has been tackled in two parts. the first part (patch that will be merge in 0.7.0), change from /etc/mtab to /proc/self/mounts, and keep the existing mtab update functions alone in the mount helper. Eventually, a second part would be for ZoL contributor/maintainers to do the integration with libmount. libmount didn't exist on Linux when the mount helper code was originally written. That could allow ZoL to drop their custom code. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607920 Title: zfs services fail on firstboot if zfs-utils is integrated into the deployment image Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: [Impact] * zfs services fail on firstboot if zfs-utils is integrated into the deployment image. * Output from systemd - sudo systemctl --failed UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● zfs-import-scan.service loaded failed failed Import ZFS pools by device scanning ● zfs-mount.service loaded failed failed Mount ZFS filesystems * This is particularly frustrating for users who use automated monitoring as it means virtual machines must always be restarted before showing as clean. * This failure is due to zfs services starting up before /etc/mtab has a chance to be symlinked to /proc/mounts. [Test Case] 1. Grab a stock xenial image, and unpack it and add zfs-utils to it. Repack it. 2. Boot machine 3. Check systemctl --failed. [Regression Potential] * [Other Info] * This can likely be resolved in the systemd init scripts, by modifying zfs-linux to depend on /proc/mounts instead, or inclusion of /lib/init/mount-functions.sh in initscripts (sysvinit).
