I was just pointed to https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-18.04-Root-on-ZFS and told that ZFS filesystems aren't expected to be in /etc/fstab according to those instructions. Is this correct? I haven't checked but it seems that initramfs-tools wouldn't then fail under these conditions. Could you provide exact steps to reproduce your problem, please?
