** Description changed:

  update-grub runs /usr/sbin/grub-probe
  
  /usr/sbin/grub-probe runs ["zpool", "status", poolname]
  
  zpool responds with device names as used at (I think!) pool creation
  time. Often, this is /dev/disk/by-id/... names, without the path.
  
  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'.
+ 
+ The actual path is of course /dev/disk/by-id/ST31000333AS_99999999-part1
