Bug#767893: systemd cannot mount zfs filesystems from fstab

[John Holland]

It seems like it is unable to mount a zfs volume given in fstab during boot. Strangely the presence of such an entry in fstab also seems to cause the password entry problem. With no zfs in fstab I can enter the passwords and the zfs volumes with non legacy mount points mount ok.
 It sounds like maybe I need to try a Plymouth theme as well as just plymouth as I do not get a graphical start screen. However if a fix is coming for systemd maybe I should wait for that to see if it clears it up.
