[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#980464: zfs-dracut: dracut+ZFS-on-root systems rendered unbootable

[наб]

Package: zfs-dracut
Version: 2.0.1-2
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

Because you install zgenhostid to sbin, the dracut module was broken,
so during a casual upgrade and rebuild (both on sid, reporting from
different system), on next boot the user is met with
"don't know how to handle root=zfs".

This has happened to a friend of mine's and my machines today,
thankfully we made backups of our ESPs, because our systems would've
run a high chance to become entirely broken, requiring mounting the
rootfses on other machines and regenerating there; this is not feasible
on a sealed system (mine) or one that boots off multiple striped NVMe
drives (his).

PLEASE apply this patch
(clean over b612af3ca30a04c5afbef1fcadeec76a516794ef)
and upload ASAP. I have verified it on my machine.

Best,
наб
