Public bug reported:

update-grub runs /usr/sbin/grub-probe

/usr/sbin/grub-probe runs ["zpool", "status", poolname]

zpool responds with device names as used at pool creation time. Often,
this is /dev/disk/by-id/... names.

grub-probe then parses the output, and takes the names of devices, and
if they do not start with a "/", it prepends "/dev".

It then tests the existence of the path name of the device. it fails.

grub-probe then returns  something like

/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/dev/ata-
ST31000333AS_99999999-part1'.
