Package: zfs-initramfs
Version: 0.6.5.9-5
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
according to line 765 of the file
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs
it should be possible for the initramfs to detect the root file system
by the zpool's bootfs property. This fails because in line 838 IFS is
redefined. A simple fix would be something like this:
--- /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs 2017-03-19 11:14:57.000000000
+0100
+++ /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs 2017-04-07 17:10:56.304513058 +0200

+ IFS="$OLD_IFS" find_rootfs "$pool"
done
IFS="$OLD_IFS"
If you set boot=zfs and omit root=zfs:AUTO, this will work (tested
with a single zpool and the bootfs and mountpoint properties set).
However, setting root=zfs:AUTO still fails because in line 790
ZFS_BOOTFS is set to zfs:AUTO and subsequently in line 930 it is
attempted to look up a dataset with the name zfs:AUTO (not even the
zfs: part will be stripped in this case).
