[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#972132: zfs-initramfs: Fails to boot when / is on zfs encryption=on dataset

[John Goerzen]

Package: zfs-initramfs
Version: 0.8.4-2~bpo10+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have set up this system to use ZFS crypto rather than my more conventional zfs-atop-LUKS.

I have a passphrase that needs a prompt.  All that should be necessary here would be adding -l to zfs mount, or to zpool import.  Without it, the system fails to boot.  To workaround this, I have added a file in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount that basically does a zpool import, then a zpool load-key, which is enough to get the system going.
