update-initramfs complains about zpool_id with zfs 0.6.1 #90

Closed yacoob closed 11 years ago

yacoob commented 11 years ago

update-initramfs fails with:

# update-initramfs -k all -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.8.4
Error: /lib/udev/zpool_id is not executable.
E: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/zdev failed with return 2.

This is probably related to the fact that zpool_id got retired.

That's with zfsutils built from this commit.

That change should be reverted by debian/patches/0001-Revert-Retire-zpool_id-infrastructure.patch in the packaging, which means that the /lib/udev/zpool_id file should still be installed by the zfsutils package.

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.8.4

None of wheezy, precise, quantal, or raring are currently shipping that kernel version; linux-image-3.8.0-15-generic is the latest that I've got on my machines.

What is the output of lsb_release -a?

What is the output of apt-cache policy zfsutils?

Hm, indeed, the patch should have been applied. It wasn't, when I've built the package with fakeroot ./debian/rules binary. I'm now rebuilding the package with debuild -i -us -uc -b, and it seems to have been applied. Looks like it's a case of PEBKAC. :D

As for the kernel: it's my own build of 3.8.4 packaged with make-kpkg on Debian stable:

# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 (squeeze)
Release:        6.0.7
Codename:       squeeze

Let me rebuild the packages and see if it behaves as expected. I believe it will - once I verify this, I'll close this bug.

Last but not least: are there any plans of merging pkg-zfs with zfs repository proper?

yacoob commented 11 years ago

Yup, zpool_id is there. Mea culpa. Sorry for a false alarm.

Okay, good to know.

No. As downstream ZoL integration has improved, @behlendorf has removed packaging elements from the zfsonlinux/zfs repository. It is more likely that zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs will be retired entirely if Debian and/or Ubuntu bundle ZoL in regular distribution, or that it will exist only to dispatch daily builds.

Allright. For the moment I don't have a problem with building a new version of modules every now and then, it's just small hiccups like above I bump into. Is there an analogue of this PPA for Debian? Ie. builds of release versions of spl+zfs debs for Debian stable?

Yes, you can put this into a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zfsonlinux.list file:

deb http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/debian wheezy main

But there are no plans to build specifically for Debian 6 now that Debian 7 is in release freeze. Note that you'll need to manually import the DC0FCB63 key into the system keyring until these packages are fully polished.

yacoob commented 11 years ago

Cool. I guess I'll start using this once I move to wheezy proper. Thanks for the help and information :)
