Hi All, I noticed that if you
1. create a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 amd64 VPS on DigitalOcean 2. install the package "zfsutils-linux" 3. reboot then the rebooting hangs for exactly 60 seconds with the message on the console: A start job is running for udev Waiting Service Initialization (55s / 3min) That is, the mere installation of zfsutils-linux would cause that wait. These are the messages from dmesg, ... [ 2.910863] systemd[1]: Started LVM2 metadata daemon. [ 2.911668] systemd[1]: Starting Create Static Device Nodes in /dev... [ 2.934691] systemd[1]: Started Journal Service. [ 2.980284] EXT4-fs (vda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro [ 3.033622] systemd-journald[686]: Received request to flush runtime journal from PID 1 [ 3.033966] iscsi: registered transport (iser) [ 3.632060] ppdev: user-space parallel port driver [ 63.681578] zavl: module license 'CDDL' taints kernel. [ 63.681584] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint [ 63.695493] SPL: Loaded module v0.6.5.6-0ubuntu1 [ 63.754683] ZFS: Loaded module v0.6.5.6-0ubuntu3, ZFS pool version 5000, ZFS filesystem version 5 ... If you uninstall "zfsutils-linux", the reboot does not hang anymore. My workaround for now has been to disable the zfs target at boot time: systemctl disable zfs.target since I am interested in using ZFS in an a pre-allocated file instead of a block device.
