[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#961094: Bug#961094: zfsutils-linux: Hostid is not regenerated on a clone/copy/restore of the underlying OS

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

The sad state of affairs with hostid and gethostid() on Linux is somehow
described in <URL: https://bugs.debian.org/595790 >.  The zfs package
have a workaround creating /etc/hostid to make sure it do not change
every time dhclient update the IP address of the machine.
