Package: zfsutils-linux
Version: 2.3.2-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
While trying to setup /etc/zfs/vdev_id.conf on a system with dual ported
SAS drives using multipath, the expected links were not appearing in
/dev/disk/by-vdev. Upon investigation, I discovered that
/usr/lib/udev/vdev_id uses a gawk specific function:
----
+ awk
{ len=sprintf ("%20s",length($0)); gsub(/ /,0,str);
a[NR]=len "_" $0; }
END {
asort(a)
print substr(a[1],22)
}
awk: line 7: function asort never defined
-----
The default awk implementation appears to be mawk:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Feb 4 2025 /usr/bin/awk -> /etc/alternatives/awk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Feb 4 2025 /etc/alternatives/awk -> /usr/bin/mawk
so the udev script was failing.
I'm assuming upstream probably won't be interested in making their awk
script posix compliant, so perhaps zfsutils-linux should depend on gawk,
and the script be updated to call gawk directly rather than whatever the
default system awk is?
Oh, I generated this bug report on my workstation as the server can't
connect to the Internet; the server is running Debian 13 not 12.
Thanks...
