zfs not automounting with systemd

[Sam Van den Eynde]

I am testdriving systemd on Ubuntu 15.04 with zfs as root filesystem. The system works great, however it seems the systemd initscripts are not installed on my system, leaving one zpool exported and a few filesystems unmounted at boot. This worked fine with upstart.

When looking at the dkms folders I can see the scripts were pulled correctly from git (at least I assume that's why the're there):
ll /var/lib/dkms/zfs/0.6.3.0/build/etc/systemd/system
total 58
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 11 mrt 10 22:32 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 5 mrt 10 22:32 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:30 50-zfs.preset.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:32 Makefile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:30 Makefile.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:30 zed.service.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:30 zfs-import-cache.service.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:30 zfs-import-scan.service.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:30 zfs-mount.service.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:30 zfs-share.service.in
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 mrt 10 22:30 zfs.target.in

I can test things to help out, however I have no developer skills (automake/make/autoconfigure/...). E.g. I have no idea if I could deploy those files manually to test.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Just ran into this exact same issuse. It looks like the files DO NOT match what's in git at all. (In fact, all of the are the same 6-byte file).

I manually fixed my system by creating files in /etc/systemd/system based off of the templates here:

https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/tree/master/etc/systemd/system

(Create a file zfs-target based of zfs-target.in, zfs-share-service based off of zfs-share-service.in, and so on. You'll need to manually replace the variables that would normally be replaced by the build process -- @bindir@ becomes /bin and so forth.)

Ok starts to make sense to me now. Thanks for the guidance on the workaround!

Since we don't ship any ZFS support package in Ubuntu I suppose you are using the upstream PPA. The bug report for that is logged at https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/issues/145, so closing this one. Thanks!

[Sam Van den Eynde (samvde)]

Thanks, it is sometimes a bit challenging knowing where to go with an issue :-)

[Jared Fernandez (jared-fernandez)]

This has been fixed for me as of a few updates ago. Can anyone else confirm?

[Sam Van den Eynde (samvde)]

Yes, it can be closed. I initially logged it, but it seems I can't close it.

[David Britton (dpb)]

Fixed here as well.
