[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#864348: zfs-dkms: Module loading fixable with symlinks for 'zfs-import-scan.service'

[Henner Heck]

Package: zfs-dkms
Version: 0.6.5.11-1~bpo9+1
Followup-For: Bug #864348

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I installed zfs-dkms from the stretch-backports repo.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

After installation the zfs modules were not loaded automatically and
the systemd services for zfs were all in a failed state.
'zfs-import-scan.service' is wanted by 'zfs-mount.service' and 'zfs.target',
so i added the appropriate symlinks
ln -v -s "/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-scan.service" "/etc/systemd/system/zfs-mount.service.wants/zfs-import-scan.service"
ln -v -s "/lib/systemd/system/zfs-import-scan.service" "/etc/systemd/system/zfs.target.wants/zfs-import-scan.service"
and restarted all ZFS services.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

'zpool status' no longer complains about missing ZFS modules.
The ZFS services are in the expected 'active' state,
except for 'zfs-import-cache.service', but that seems ok since there is no zpool cache file.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected ZFS to work immediately after the installation.
