ZFS bind mounts on fstab makes mountall try to bind mount before ZFS FSes

I am using the stable ZFS PPA. On my system, fstab entries that bind mount ZFS filesystems to directories on my (non-ZFS) root filesystem cause mountall to fail to mount any ZFS filesystems.

When I boot, /storage doesn't get mounted, and mountall complains about not being able to mount /srv/nfs4/data. Here is the output of mountall --debug (with Plymouth connection warnings removed):

try_mount has somehow gotten the idea that storage (the ZFS base filesystem) depends on /srv/nfs4/data, which in reality a bind mount target:

try_mount: storage waiting for /srv/nfs4/data

And then a little later on, it tries to mount /srv/nfs4/data, but of course can't, because /storage/data doesn't exist yet:

mounting event handled for /srv/nfs4/data
mounting /srv/nfs4/data
spawn: mount -n -t none -o bind /storage/data /srv/nfs4/data
mount: special device /storage/data does not exist
mountall: mount /srv/nfs4/data [8308] terminated with status 32
mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted: /srv/nfs4/data
mountall: Skipping mounting /srv/nfs4/data since Plymouth is not available
spawn: mount /srv/nfs4/data [8308]
skip_mount: /srv/nfs4/data
skip_mount: storage
skip_mount: storage/backuppc
skip_mount: storage/data
skip_mount: storage/plexmediaserver
skip_mount: storage/timecapsule
skip_mount: storage/vault-home

If I remove the bind mount from /etc/fstab, everything works fine (except my NFSv4 exports, of course).

zfsonlinux / pkg-zfs

ZFS bind mounts on fstab makes mountall try to bind mount before ZFS FSes #194
