Is it needed by zfs?
No.
IIRC, this is in the ZoL documentation because the Ubuntu installer conventionally sets the mount point as the filesystem label. Some systems use the LABEL=
keyword instead of the UUID=
keyword in the /etc/fstab
file.
I try to be safe and avoid spaces and other characters.. but
mke2fs -m 0 -L /boot/grub -j /dev/disk/by-id/some-disk-id
specifies the full path as a label and not as a path.parameter, thus introducing slashes in names..Is it needed by zfs?
