Follow-up Comment #1, bug #52746 (project grub): Some more context:
Grub apparently passes this (invalid) value to initramfs, which is processed here under Debian: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-zfsonlinux/zfs.git/tree/contrib/initramfs/scripts/zfs#n770 And this is apparently passed verbatim to zfsonlinux, which dies here: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%22trailing+slash+in+name%22&type= I think it sounds sane that ZOL has this validation. One might argue that the first link is a bit confusing since their format string includes the slash unconditionally, so at least their documentation should be fixed. I'm not sure why this file is under a Debian repo, probably other distros have a different file with similar functionality? I'm pretty sure life would be great if update-grub produced a valid name, ie. without the trailing slash. That should hopefully not break any existing setup. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52746> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list Bug-grub@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
