Title:
upgrade of kernel fails with mkinitramfs: failed to determine device
for /
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Ubuntu users who have installed on ZFS devices.
[Test case]
-- upgrade --
1) install 16.04 using ZFS as rootfs.
2) upgrade to 18.04
-- initramfs update --
1) install Ubuntu, using ZFS as a rootfs.
2) run "sudo update-initramfs -u"
Without the patch, you should see a warning from mkinitramfs:
mkinitramfs: failed to determine device for /
mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most, check:
grep -r MODULES /etc/initramfs-tools/
With initramfs-tools patched, you should not see the warning, and
instead have additional kernel modules added to the initramfs that are
required to support the block devices that host the ZFS pools.
[Regression Potential]
This change is limited to behavior for ZFS filesystems. Likely regressions
might include loading a kernel module that conflicts with another that is
required at boot but not blacklisted, causing unexpected behavior on the
system, or failure to find the necessary kernel modules or ZFS pools, possibly
leading to an initramfs that does not contain the necessary modules yet has not
shown a warning on screen to indicate that might be the issue.

When upgrading packages with "apt upgrade" on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS with
root on ZFS I get this error:
