Initramfs scripts for ZoL.
- Supports booting of a ZFS snapshot. Do this by cloning the snapshot into a dataset. If this, the resulting dataset, already exists, destroy it. Then mount it on root.
- If snapshot does not exist, use base dataset (the part before '@') as boot filesystem instead.
- If no snapshot is specified on the 'root=' kernel command line, but there is an '@', then get a list of snapshots below that filesystem and ask the user which to use.
- Clone with 'mountpoint=none' and 'canmount=noauto' - we mount manually and explicitly.
- For sub-filesystems, that doesn't have a mountpoint property set, we use the 'org.zol:mountpoint' to keep track of it's mountpoint.
- Allow rollback of snapshots instead of clone it and boot from the clone.
- Allow mounting a root- and subfs with mountpoint=legacy set
- Allow mounting a filesystem which is using nativ encryption.
- Support all currently used kernel command line arguments All the different distributions have their own standard on what to specify on the kernel command line to boot of a ZFS filesystem.
- Extra options:
- zfsdebug=(on,yes,1) Show extra debugging information
- zfsforce=(on,yes,1) Force import the pool
- rollback=(on,yes,1) Rollback (instead of clone) the snapshot
- Extra options:
- Only try to import pool if it haven't already been imported
- This will negate the need to force import a pool that have not been exported cleanly.
- Support exclusion of pools to import by setting ZFS_POOL_EXCEPTIONS in /etc/default/zfs.
- Support additional configuration variable ZFS_INITRD_ADDITIONAL_DATASETS to mount additional filesystems not located under your root dataset.
- Include /etc/modprobe.d/{zfs,spl}.conf in the initrd if it/they exist.
- Include the udev rule to use by-vdev for pool imports.
- Include the /etc/default/zfs file to the initrd.
- Only try /dev/disk/by-* in the initrd if USE_DISK_BY_ID is set.
- Use /dev/disk/by-vdev before anything.
- Add /dev as a last ditch attempt.
- Fallback to using the cache file if that exist if nothing else worked.
- Use /sbin/modprobe instead of built-in (BusyBox) modprobe. This gets rid of the message "modprobe: can't load module zcommon". Thanx to pcoultha for finding this.
