@svde-tech: Can you please test from this PPA:

Here's what I think should happen. Right now, you're seeing /dev/sdX names. If you reboot with this package, you'll still see /dev/sdX names. Reboot again and edit your GRUB command line (at boot, not permanently) and change the pool name to be wrong. When the initrd fails to import it, import it manually with: zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id -f -R / -N POOLNAME Then export it with: zpool export POOLNAME Finally: reboot At that point, the system should come up normally.

I tested this and it works for me.

If you do test from my PPA, please remove it from your APT sources when you're done testing. I don't want some future experiment I upload to break your system.
