Therefore even if a pool gets created from a different directory like /dev, say /dev/disk/by-id or /dev/chassis/SYS on next reboot /dev will be used and thus zpool status will show the /dev/sd* etc. on successful import. Beside that now a user does not see the original names used in "zpool create ..." the unstable names like "/dev/sd*" are shown, which is explicitly NOT recommended. The following patch introduces the "pseudo" kernel param named "zdirs" - a comma separated list of dev dirs to scan on import - which gets used by /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs to honor it.
