Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 16.04 includes initrd zfs support, but the provided script does
not allow zpools to be imported using the /dev/disk/by-id paths. As a
result, the pool will be imported using "/dev/sdX" device names, which
is not the preferred way.
Tested and validated solution/proof of concept:
- extract system generated initrd
- edit scripts/zfs file: replace "zpool import -o readonly=on -N" with "zpool
import -o readonly=on -d /dev/disk/by-id -N"
- manually generate initrd using the altered script (using cpio)
- replace system generated initrd with altered one
I'd suggest adding a variable to /etc/default/zfs that would be
reflected in the initrd zfs script, but perhaps the ZoL folks are better
suited to give advice on this.
