Public bug reported: Now that native ZFS becomes available in Ubuntu we should cherry-pick patches from grub2 upstream, which add support for booting off zpools with all (current) feature flags enabled/active and fix some issues and memory leaks.
I'll quote my posting to bugs.debian.org: Dear Maintainers, as of May 2015 grub2 upstream includes patches by Toomas Soome to support OpenZFS pools with feature flags, which fixes booting off ZFS rpools. The relevant upstream logs: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/log/include/grub/zfs http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/log/grub-core/fs/zfs As I do not know whether Toomas' patches depend on intermediate commits I propose to cherry-pick all new commits to "include/grub/zfs" and "grub-core/fs/zfs". Even if the patches do not depend on previous commits it would be nice to include them as fixes to memory leaks and other issues. ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: grub2 (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #706415 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706415 ** Also affects: grub2 (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706415 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1530457 Title: grub2: cherry-pick support for ZFS pool feature flags, bugfixes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1530457/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
