Public bug reported: Right now 'zfs-initramfs', i.e. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/zfs does not support any other directory than /dev for "zpool import ...". 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. ** Affects: zfs-linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: grub2 (Ubuntu) => zfs-linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688890 Title: initramfs-zfs should support misc /dev dirs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1688890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
