Bug Description

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if we need to update the isotracker test case for this with the new installer, but the test case has this command and output:

$ zfs mount | sort
bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_UUID /boot
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID /
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/srv /srv
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/usr/local /usr/local
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/games /var/games
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/lib/AccountsService /var/lib/AccountsService
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/lib/apt /var/lib/apt
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/dpkg
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/lib/NetworkManager /var/lib/NetworkManager
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/lib /var/lib
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/log /var/log
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/mail /var/mail
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/snap /var/snap
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/spool /var/spool
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_UUID/var/www /var/www
rpool/USERDATA/root_0y7dio /root
rpool/USERDATA/u_0y7dio /home/u

However after doing a zfs install with the new installer, I get this:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ zfs mount | sort
bpool/BOOT/ubuntu_srikxd /boot
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_srikxd /
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_srikxd /snap
rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_srikxd/srv /srv

rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_srikxd/var/www /var/www

rpool has no USERDATA

I've been doing install tests this week with the legacy installer too and this is not the case for the legacy installer.

Again I'm not exactly sure if this is intended behaviour but if it is these testcases need updating:

The second testcase is for the legacy test suite, however presumably for 24.04 zfs+encryption will be on offer in the new installer, and this testcase will also need updating as it mounts
rpool/USERDATA/user_hash
