Public bug reported:

[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).
