Public bug reported: grub-probe /
fails with grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/dev/HDD0p2'. This is simply because grub makes the wrong assumption, that "zpool status $pool" lists the vdevs in use only with the '/dev/' prefix stripped off. It probably assumes something like /dev/sda etc., which is discouraged to use. Instead, grub should use "zpool status -P $pool" to get the full device path. This would probably result into a symlink, e.g. /dev/disk-by- id/$bla . If this is not sufficient, grub should use realpath() to get the final blockdev entry like /dev/sda1 . The current setup I use is: 433 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 80 Apr 28 20:22 /dev/chassis/SYS 434 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 200 Apr 28 23:06 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0 435 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/HDD0 -> ../../../sda 417 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/HDD0p1 -> ../../../sda1 442 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/HDD0p2 -> ../../../sda2 423 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/HDD0p9 -> ../../../sda9 436 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/disk -> ../../../sda 418 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/p1 -> ../../../sda1 443 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/p2 -> ../../../sda2 424 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/p9 -> ../../../sda9 437 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Apr 28 20:22 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD1 438 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD1/HDD1 -> ../../../sdb 439 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Apr 28 23:16 /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD1/disk -> ../../../sdb with 'zpool create ... rpool /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/HDD0p2' PS: The full version is 2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.9 and ZoL 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu15 (Ubuntu xenial 16.04). For simulation one may setup a VirtualBox VM, with Storage == Controller SAS (Type: LsiLogic SAS, Port Count: 8), and e.g. one VDI attached to it (/dev/sda) and e.g. netboot an install image. When it comes to the 'partitioning disks' dialog, start a shell and fetch/install ksh93 (i.e. ksh-udeb). Than the script http://iks.cs.ovgu.de/~elkner/tmp/ubuntu/bayLinks.sh can be used, to create the required dev symlinks (e.g. bayLinks.sh -mru). For convenience http://iks.cs.ovgu.de/~elkner/tmp/ubuntu/ubuntu-part.sh can be used to create the script for [re-]partitioning the drive[s] and setup zfs related stuff (whereby the 'zpool create' and consecutive stuff will fail because of the bug). E.g. /tmp/ubuntu-part.sh /dev/chassis/SYS/HDD0/HDD0 . ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687664 Title: grub-probe zfs bug: failed to get canonical path To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1687664/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
