[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#1040183: zfs-initramfs: snapshots for rootfs mounted in /root/.zfs/snapshot

Package: zfs-initramfs
Version: 2.1.11-1
Severity: normal

I have ZFS setup with rootfs which is mounted at boot in /root by initramfs.
This causes the ZFS snapshots to be mounted in /root/.zfs/snapshot instead
of /.zfs/snapshot

Accessing any snapshot in /.zfs/snapshot gives this error:

Too many levels of symbolic links
