This bug was fixed in the package zfs-linux - 0.6.5.6-0ubuntu14 --------------- zfs-linux (0.6.5.6-0ubuntu14) xenial; urgency=medium
* Fix zfs services to fail on first boot due to zfs services starting up before /etc/mtab has a chance to be symlinked to /proc/mounts. (LP: #1607920) (upstream commit 792517389fad5c495a2738b61c2e9c65dedaaa9a) * Symlink utilities in /usr/sbin to remove suffix as per policy 10.4 Scripts (LP: #1628279) Users can rely on the new names, but relying on the old names won't break before release upgrade. -- Eric Desrochers <eric.desroch...@canonical.com> Tue, 04 Oct 2016 15:07:52 +0200 ** Changed in: zfs-linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to sysvinit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607920 Title: zfs services fail on firstboot if zfs-utils is integrated into the deployment image Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in sysvinit source package in Xenial: Won't Fix Status in zfs-linux source package in Xenial: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] * zfs services fail on firstboot if zfs-utils is integrated into the deployment image. * Output from systemd - sudo systemctl --failed UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION ● zfs-import-scan.service loaded failed failed Import ZFS pools by device scanning ● zfs-mount.service loaded failed failed Mount ZFS filesystems * This is particularly frustrating for users who use automated monitoring as it means virtual machines must always be restarted before showing as clean. * This failure is due to zfs services starting up before /etc/mtab has a chance to be symlinked to /proc/mounts. [Test Case] 1. Grab a stock xenial image, and unpack it and add zfs-utils to it. Repack it. 2. Boot machine 3. Check systemctl --failed. [Regression Potential] * none expected, patch has been intensively tested by the upsteam zfs test script suite. * This is a upstream commit merge in 0.7.0. * A ubuntu package has been tested (including the upstream commit) by a user of the community facing this bug, and confirmed it addresses the problem (see comment #7). [Other Info] * The "reading" is redirected to /proc/self/mounts. The writing to /etc/mtab. Some distros still need that. The current hope is to replace the writing (and maybe reading) with libmount, in a second phase. * Upstream commit : https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/commit/792517389fad5c495a2738b61c2e9c65dedaaa9a * Upstream bug: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/4680 * Debian bug : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839071 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/1607920/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
