I can confirm that with the latest bionic packages (zfsutils-linux 0.7.5-1ubuntu4) all units start successfully for the case where no ZFS pools are present. This is exactly as I would expect.
I can't really speak to the discussion about tainted kernel. If I didn't want ZFS, I wouldn't install zfsutils-linux, so I think it's a reasonable expectation as-is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741081 Title: zfs-import-cache.service fails on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1741081/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
