Bug Description

Upstream zfsonlinux just released version 0.6.5.6 which includes critical fixes:

There was a potential for data corruption during zfs send by not transmitting holes.

"zpool status" can now show the full device path to vdev members, making the previous workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1527727 (copying /dev/disk/by-id/ names to /dev/) obsolete

According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1527727/comments/29 grub2 requires a patch to use the new zpool output.
